The status quo appears to be keep grinding until the West stops or someone shoots Putin in the head.Pretty basic IMO. If we continue aid he'll go for a deal. He was banking on Trump ending support.
We'll see how it goes.

“Later, he even asked to turn on romance movies for him in Korean,”Reminds me of a position my dogs would take if they had sausages and someone came at them.

sounds like this could actually be the beginning of the end. I have no idea how or what terms will be negotiated but I imagine Ukraine will have to give up some of its land.Vladimir Putin has said he is ready to discuss the war in Ukraine with Donald Trump and suggested it would be a good idea for them to meet.
In his first comments since Trump issued threats to inflict economic damage on Russia if it failed to end the war in Ukraine, Putin struck a favourable tone towards the US president.

Putin ‘ready for negotiations’ with Trump on Ukraine war
Russian president strikes noticeably favourable tone, downplaying Trump’s economic threatswww.theguardian.com
Ukrainians still have some of the Kursk region in Russia so they do have something to bargain with.sounds like this could actually be the beginning of the end. I have no idea how or what terms will be negotiated but I imagine Ukraine will have to give up some of its land.
I also think at play, knowing both the US military and NATO military has known this scenario was likely, is how much has been stockpiled and how much is Europe resolved to see Putin and Russia not let off the hook, which I think they seemingly are showing resolve to do. Also how close is Russia’s tipping point economically and militarily.Ukrainians still have some of the Kursk region in Russia so they do have something to bargain with.
But yeah, they’ll have to give up some land for a deal.
I don’t think either is ready for a deal that’s palatable to both at the moment.
I think you under estimate how exhausted the Ukrainians are but hope you’re right.I also think at play, knowing both the US military and NATO military has known this scenario was likely, is how much has been stockpiled and how much is Europe resolved to see Putin and Russia not let off the hook, which I think they seemingly are showing resolve to do.

I predict the fight goes on without US aid because there is resolve in NATO, Russia has major cracks, and Ukraine is pissed and sees a scenario they get all land back still.
I know. They are for sure a part of it too. It all depends on how much they feel Russia is running out of time and how long they feel they have enough support from NATOI think you under estimate how exhausted the Ukrainians are but hope you’re right.
A meeting should be between Trump, Putin, and Ukraine President. Anything less is stall tactic.Ukrainians still have some of the Kursk region in Russia so they do have something to bargain with.

Stalling for what?A meeting should be between Trump, Putin, and Ukraine President. Anything less is stall tactic.
Are you serious Bins???Vladimir Putin has said he is ready to discuss the war in Ukraine with Donald Trump and suggested it would be a good idea for them to meet.

Serious about what? That’s what the guardian is reporting.Are you serious Bins???
To keep further sanctions or increased weapons from going to Ukraine. Also in the hopes of grabbing more land.Stalling for what?
That can be achieved without a meeting.To keep further sanctions or increased weapons from going to Ukraine. Also in the hopes of grabbing more land.
Yep, words are wind. If all parties aren’t present. Not seeing anything worth talking about.That can be achieved without a meeting.
But I get your point.
Its all a freaking joke by Trump and Russia. Are all the Nazi's in Ukraine wiped out? Is Russia going to say, ok its time to go home. Is Trump going to say to Ukraine, give half of your lands to Russia?Serious about what? That’s what the guardian is reporting.
And it is Europe that is at stake, not the US. Unless trump is going to help Ukraine defeat the Russians he should let western Europe take the lead in negotiations along with Ukraine.Its all a freaking joke by Trump and Russia. Are all the Nazi's in Ukraine wiped out? Is Russia going to say, ok its time to go home. Is Trump going to say to Ukraine, give half of your lands to Russia?
I have no idea where you land on this, but judging by a few posts, it appears you think this is a joke as well. Thank god its not your house and property they are saying hmm. . . we are ok if we give that to Russia.
Russia doesn’t deserve an inch of Ukrainian land but reality is reality.Its all a freaking joke by Trump and Russia. Are all the Nazi's in Ukraine wiped out? Is Russia going to say, ok its time to go home. Is Trump going to say to Ukraine, give half of your lands to Russia?

The question is what does Russia give in terms of security guarantees? Their word is meaningless. There either needs to be a significant neutral military force established between them or NATO membership.Russia doesn’t deserve an inch of Ukrainian land but reality is reality.
Any deal is most likely gonna end up with Ukraine losing some territory.
Security guarantees are going to have to come from the west as Russia can’t be trusted.The question is what does Russia give in terms of security guarantees? Their word is meaningless. There either needs to be a significant neutral military force established between them or NATO membership.
Anything less is akin to a cease fire that will break at any second. Israel/Palestine.
I’m not sure what country would be acceptable to both sides. First it can’t be anyone closely aligned with either party. Secondly they must be strong enough for Russia not to **** with.
Well I can’t see anyone strong enough to deter Russia that isn’t from the West anyways.Security guarantees are going to have to come from the west as Russia can’t be trusted.
Once the war is over help Ukraine rebuild and continue to arm them. If th EU wants them as a member so much the better. Even without NATO membership doing those things will make Russia reluctant to have another go…
