The best explanation for Trump’s Ukraine strategy (from someone with a long career in D.C.):
The deal was always going to be so unacceptably bad that Ukraine would have to reject it. Trump can then say we tried to make peace but Ukraine (& Europe) didn’t want peace. And wash his hands of it.

Ukraine probably expected this, but didn't want to give Trump the claim "they didn't even negotiate".
