You try to freeze discussions to convenient points in time as if Trump doesn’t care about context - Trump is firm when he needs to be. Great!
I have no problem with Trump being really firm with Russia; why would I? What Trump wants now, given all the circumstances in play, is peace negotiations.
What Trump wants now is to stop the dying, and he did not require Russia to withdraw in order for peace negotiations to begin.
“What Trump wants now is to stop the dying, and he did not require Russia to withdraw in order for peace negotiations to begin.”

“Stop the dying”... well that is what everyone wants - especially the Russian and Ukrainian soldiers dying on the frontlines right now due to Putin’s miscalculations.
And let’s not forget the Ukrainian civilians being targeted by Russian missiles on a very large scale.
When Trump says “stop the dying” it means he will demand Russia to retreat back to Moscow and stop their illegal invasion of sovereign Ukraine.
He already threatened Putin with the annihilation of Moscow if he decided to invade Ukraine. Remember?
Trump’s gets peace by hitting his adversaries hard, shaking them to the core. Putin was scared to death of Trump.
No wonder Russia never attacked Ukraine during the Trump presidency!
