The peace talks are failing because Putin still believes he can win the war, and because Trump, Kushner and Witkoff encourage this belief. By pressuring Ukraine, not Russia, they are prolonging the conflict, which will kill more people.

"Russia if you're listening...."
The sequencing of Ukraine-Russia talks is important.
The priority should be securing a ceasefire, followed by a peace agreement, and only then can there be discussions on Europe's wider security architecture.

OTD in 2021 I denied any plans to invade Ukraine. Which was sort of true. The plan was really shit.
But you can believe me now if I say I’ll stop & sign a treaty.
