Because as long as Russian troops keep attacking and Russian Shaheds and missiles still pound Uk5raine, there is no result. There is no other parameter to consider. Everything else is meaningless babbling.
I'm not impressed at all by the meeting in Saudi Arabia.
Trump offers Putin to stop providing weapons to Ukraine in exchange for a peace deal: It's not going to work. Trump is completely delusional. He even said that Zelensky started the war.
Putin will agree that the US stops providing weapons to Ukraine but will keep on attacking Ukraine regardless. And if Trump delivers weapons to Ukraine, he will keep on attacking as he does now because his troops are advancing even with US weapons in Ukrainian hands.
Putin is not interested in a deal that would freeze the front line where it is now. He will only agree on a deal where he will get enough additional territories immediately instead of spending another three years to conquer them.
If we don't offer this, he doesn't see the point to even talking.
He doesn't care that this war is sinking the Russian economy, that Soviet stockpiles are almost empty and that hundred of soldiers die every day. Military losses have no effect on his decisions.
They do. Zelensky repeatedly said that the outcome of war in Ukraine will define the future of Europe and that Ukraine is currently fighting for Europe's safety.
This is the sentiment of all the populations in Eastern Europe, who border Russia.
We must stop Putin not only in the Donbas but on the entire eastern border of the European Union. He will attack where ever he sees a weakness.
Why do you disagree?
Anything that could prevent the further invasion of Ukraine is inacceptable to Russia.
The goal is not to get something "
acceptable to Russia", instead it's to prevent Russia from doing what is acceptable to them. In this case to stop their territorial expansion westward. If we need to deploy troops in Ukraine to stop them, we will do it.
It doesn't make sens to let the conditions for further invasion in Ukraine because after Ukraine, it will be another country. Putin already asked that the Baltic States leave NATO...
Some political experts are saying that Putin will try to outsmart Trump. But Trump is more clever than he looks like. He is able to say the most crazy, the most unthinkable things and tell the opposite the next day. Nobody should take seriously what Trump says. But when it comes too real decision, it's another story.

It's usual in the VIP real estate business in the US to welcome money from Russian oligarch or so called
businessmen who wants to move money out of Russia.
It doesn't mean that it's going to influence Trump's policies toward Ukraine if this money was not linked to Putin or the Russian government. But there is matter for scrutinity.
Zelensky doesn't drag this on. Putin does. Zelensky and the Ukrainian army is only trying to stop the Russian invasion of their country. Zlelensky has no possibility to stop the war unless he capitulates. Putin on the other hand, can stop the war tomorrow if he wanted.
Trump is not indifferent to the lack of democracy in Russia or elsewhere. But his approach is different from the logic of sanctions. He thinks that making good commercial deals will help economic development and ultimately favour democracy and peace.
He offered to buy Gaza. He tried to buy North Korea. And now he will try to buy both Ukraine and Russia at the same time. It didn't work for obvious reasons but that's how he thinks.
Trump honestly desires to end the war. He is sensible to the issue of human suffering during wars. (It's my personal opinion). And even thought he knows that it will be unjust, he would promote giving some territories to Putin if the war can be stopped.
I also suspect that he aims at the Peace Price Nobel.
