Trump: "I heard today that 'we [Ukraine] were never invited [to the negotiations]', well you've been there for three years and should have never started it"
Wild stuff. The outcome in Ukraine will be entirely based on how well the parties play into making Trump look good at the negotiating table.
Putin is playing it intelligently, he is letting his advisors play hardball and can swoop in as the reasonable dealmaker later as necessary.
Zelensky, on the other hand, badly miscalculated by challenging Trump in public on multiple platforms.
The problem here for me is that Trump fundamentally misunderstands Russian objectives with respect to Ukraine. He's looking at this like a real estate deal instead of a question of control over Ukraine's political and social destiny. When they hit that point in negotiations they will stall.

Andrey, a Russian entrepreneur living in Brazil who, fearing retaliation, asked that NPR not use his last name, said Telegram has become one of the few places Russians can access independent news about the war. The message was not authentic, with the real Zelenskiy soon denying the claim on his official Telegram channel, but the incident highlighted a major problem: disinformation quickly spreads unchecked on the encrypted app. DFR Lab sent the image through Microsoft Azure's Face Verification program and found that it was "highly unlikely" that the person in the second photo was the same as the first woman. The fact-checker Logically AI also found the claim to be false. The woman, Olena Kurilo, was also captured in a video after the airstrike and shown to have the injuries. However, the perpetrators of such frauds are now adopting new methods and technologies to defraud the investors. "There are several million Russians who can lift their head up from propaganda and try to look for other sources, and I'd say that most look for it on Telegram," he said.
