	1 Recommendation Recommended By rdkflorida2 of 6990

Putin is in a win-win situation If Mr Trump succeeds in bullying Ukraine into accepting a peace agreement on Russian terms, that would obviously represent success for Putin. If, on the other hand, Volodymyr Zelensky were to resist this pressure, then Mr Trump would probably walk away from the conflict and abandon America’s remaining support for Ukraine. That too would be a win for Putin. It defies rational explanation but Mr Trump has adopted a uniquely absurd negotiating position: the art of the schmuck rather than the art of the deal. His message to Putin might be summarised as follows: you must end the war or else I will stop helping your enemy. Recommended Why Zelensky needs Putin to reject Trump's peace deal Read more That leaves Putin with no reason to compromise or give an inch. On the contrary, he will believe there are only two possible outcomes: either Ukraine capitulates and makes peace according to his demands, or Ukraine loses all American backing. Thanks to the perverse genius of Trump-Witkoff diplomacy, Putin wins either way.
