A stream of often contradictory statements from Trump’s team about Ukraine, Russia, and the peace deal procedure hints that the new U.S. administration rushed to start peace talks without a clear plan.

There is no plan when trump is involved - he is incapable of planning. His tactic in negotiations is to give putin everything he wants before the negotiations even start. He is no friend of Ukraine - as soon as putin agrees to stop the war he will try and force Ukraine to give in to putins demands.
If I understand it correctly: US and Russia will agree the peace treaty and Russia will keep all the land it invaded. European troops will man the borders and the Americans will take 50% of Ukraines mineral resources as payment. What did I miss?
Three things to know about Trump. 1/ since 2012, Putin has been his sugar daddy after funding golf courses the bank would not give Trump loans on. 2/ Trump has a proven track record as a narcissist. if it's not about him, he doesn't give a rat's ass. 3 and most important....
He's a useless negotiating partner and should be ignored as much as possible. Ukraine is winning and Putin is weak. The job can be finished with support of non-US NATO nations. Best bet is to cut the US out for 4 years as much as possible. Don't let Drumpf interject himself into the conversation.
Trump just said that he wants "the killing to stop". Thats all. Not for Ukraine to win its fight against the aggressor. Also in his past he spoke about the "Russia, russia, russia hoax". So no need to normalize what seems to us erratic. Trump has no plans, he as oppinions on which he acts.
Trump had been promising to end the war within 24 hours of gaining power for months and months. Evidently with no more thought put into it than just a sentence, trotted out at every opportunity with a camera present.
Evidence again of his chaotic mind.
I may be completely wrong, but I suspect the plan in general is "spend less, cut taxes". That means cutting US spending in UA. Donald is above his ceiling, and is running a country as if it were a hotel chain.
There is a reason Trump has been called King Chaos.
Being profoundly ignorant, acting on instinct, the result is - shifting moods + an incoherent administration, making predictability very uncertain. Only thing certain is that nothing is certain & you must be prepared to be stabbed in the back!

No surprise there.
