UA been successfully targeting the RU oil infrastructure that putin needs to run the war and secure inflow of hard currency to support his war effort. UA drone & missile attacks have reportedly knocked out around 10% of RU refining capacity. I fail to see how this is in any way a fair exchange. - ThreadSky

Thirdly, the russians want a deal over the Black Sea — one that would allow them to resume disruption of SLOC, as they have done in the Sea of Azov since 2015 and in the Black Sea since 2022. It was UA naval drones that forced open UA Black Sea ports and drove the BSF into the NE corner of the sea.

Finally, by saying that “the blood and treasure that both Ukraine and russia have been spending in this war would be better spent on the needs of their people”, Trump draws a false equivalence between the aggressor and the victim.

He naively assumes that any "treasure" saved would somehow benefit ordinary russians, which is simply not the case. He also claimed that the war “should have ended long ago with sincere and good faith peace efforts”. But “sincere and good faith” are not words that describe putin.

The truth is, Trump wants a reset with putin — and he will push for it, no matter the cost to Ukraine.
