Trump Stepping Away From Peace Talks

Ending Russia’s war in Ukraine on Day One of his administration was one of Donald Trump’s famous boasts but he has been sat behind the big desk with the Pepsi button for more than 100 days and the fighting goes on.
Military attacks have continued despite numerous meetings between senior Russian and US officials and phone conversations where Trump and Putin have spoken directly and despite the Americans even repeating parrot fashion the false Russian line that it was somehow all Ukraine's fault, the end of the war hasn't even made it off the starting blocks as Russia created obstacles and deploy delaying tactics, so much so that the Russian President never even showed up to the Peace talks in Turkey that he himself requested.
When Trump proposed a 30-day general ceasefire to prepare the way for broader peace negotiations, the Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, agreed to this immediately while Putin made a counter proposal of agreeing only to not attack energy infrastructure which suited Russia as it relies heavily on the export of oil and Ukraine has been targeting Russia’s oil refineries and storage facilities therefore shielding Russia’s energy production while continuing to attack Ukraine.
Moscow has openly stated it's goal is control all of four regions of Ukraine and Russia and have demanded Kyiv give up its claims to the territory Russia currently occupy as well as Zelenskyy stepping down as President and while Russia places obstacles in the path of peace, Trump and his officials do nothing to remove them.
As we saw and heard in the White House ambush of Zelenskyy in March, Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war and not wanting peace while demanding nothing from Russia and even pursuing the prospect of lucrative deals involving trade and investment, Kirill Dmitriev’s visit to Washington at the beginning of April included discussions encompassing possible deals involving rare-earth metals, exploiting resources in the Arctic, and resuming direct flights between the US and Russia which meant that the prospect of the Trump administration negotiating a peace agreement that the Ukrainians would accept seems remote.
Now after another two-hour phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, Trump is appearing to withdraw from mediating the peace talks altogether as he has been unable to force Ukraine into a deal on Russia’s terms but Putin has no interest in genuine negotiations, and likely never will as Putin's dilemma is that whilst he probably can't win this war he definitely can't afford to lose it. With the staggering amount of men and military materiel lost he just wouldn't survive politically if Russia came out of the conflict with nothing..
The Ukrainian President has forged an impressive international coalition which has withstood Russia’s assault and European Nations are vowing to continue arming Zelenskyy but they will now need to step into the peace talks void left by the self appointed negotiator Trump who it is expected, will soon abandon attempts to reach a negotiated settlement to the war and go straight to re-establishing normal relations with Russia.
