I have an answer to Mr. Dmitriev's question.

What Trump had to bargain

Continuing or increasing military aid if Russia does not come to the table
Russia turning back some captured territory to Ukraine
Guaranteeing Ukraine sovereignty with NATO membership if they break it
Europe providing security to Ukraine
Lifting sanctions in return for conceding territory

He gave it all away before negotiations even started
The EU is now talking about combining all EU countries' militaries as one.
Can't say I blame them.
 
Improved relations should be an objective AFTER Putin has negotiated a good faith settlement with Ukraine that benefits both sides
Trump is giving away all his bargaining chips with Putin
Destroying the Western Alliance
Taking Ukraine NATO membership off the table
Conceding Russia keeps captured territory
Offering to remove sanctions
1. Trump isn't giving anything dumbass, he's dangling carrots
2. Trump isn't destroying anything, he's strengthening it by demanding NATO members spend more on defense
3. Ukraine in NATO is a stretch objective, why wasn't it admitted years ago?
4. No territory has been ceded yet
5. Offering to remove sanctions is nothing

Go fuck yourself you lying POS. Trump has all the cards.

Trump has taken NATO membership off the table already

Why not demand that Putin make a substantial offer before he does that?

What ever happened to Mr Art of the Deal?

So what if NATO membership is off the table? Russia controls 20% of Ukraine.
These are delicate negotiations.
If negotiations fail NATO membership is the least of Z's worries.
Why wasn't Ukraine in NATO already?
 
We were on Russias side during that war
Russia already occupied that territory

Was FDR going to give it to Germany?

Why not give it back to the original country. Russia had not taken those countries prior. FDR just gave it away. It wouldn't have bothered me at all if we had just taken Germany for ourselves and given some of it to Russia.

OK
The Red Army was occupying that territory

What did you propose FDR do?
 
Ending the war needs to happen.

Explore any avenue

He never had any intention of really bargaining. He is in Putin's pocket.
 

U.S. and Russia Pursue Partnership in a Head-Spinning Shift in Relations

Senior American and Russian officials agreed on Tuesday to establish teams to work toward ending the war in Ukraine and finding a path toward normalizing relations, in the most extensive negotiations between the two countries in more than three years.

The meeting was the latest striking swerve by the Trump administration in abandoning Western efforts to isolate Russia. Since Mr. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the United States and its Western allies had moved vigorously to punish Russia for causing Europe’s most destructive war in generations.

Mr. Dmitriev, who worked with Mr. Witkoff to broker the release last week of an American schoolteacher jailed in Russia, said he would seek to restart economic cooperation with the United States to “rebuild communication, rebuild trust, rebuild success.”

“U.S. oil majors have had very successful business in Russia,” Mr. Dmitriev said in a brief interview on Tuesday before the talks began, offering an example of how the countries could rebuild business ties. “We believe at some point they will be coming back, because why would they forgo these opportunities that Russia gave them to have access to Russian natural resources?”


Answer: Because some countries in the international community think it's best not help the economy of a country that committed atrocious war crimes.

In anticipation of defenders of all things trump, yes, improved relations with Russia would be a good thing...........under normal circumstances. But if Russia wants economic cooperation the demand from the US should be unconditional withdrawal from Ukraine and assistance with rebuilding it.

This so-called "Treaty" is going be a giveaway to Pooty. Ukraine, the country Russia invaded is not even at the table and that is wrong. Ukrainian President Volodynyr Zelensky has already said that a cease fire or a treaty without Ukrainian participation is a non-starter. Ukrainian interests must the priority, NOT Pooty's.

Zelensky better start asking for the EU to fund his war.

Russia needs to cede 1/3 of captured territory
We need to ensure Ukraine security with more than Putin promising he will behave
