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.

Some people used the platform to organize ahead of the storming of the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, and last month Senator Mark Warner sent a letter to Durov urging him to curb Russian information operations on Telegram. The Security Service of Ukraine said in a tweet that it was able to effectively target Russian convoys near Kyiv because of messages sent to an official Telegram bot account called "STOP Russian War." "Like the bombing of the maternity ward in Mariupol," he said, "Even before it hits the news, you see the videos on the Telegram channels." Crude oil prices edged higher after tumbling on Thursday, when U.S. West Texas intermediate slid back below $110 per barrel after topping as much as $130 a barrel in recent sessions. Still, gas prices at the pump rose to fresh highs. One thing that Telegram now offers to all users is the ability to “disappear” messages or set remote deletion deadlines. That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals.
