Trump Says Russia Easier Than Ukraine to Deal With

Russia is willing to discuss a temporary truce in Ukraine provided there is progress toward a final peace settlement, according to people familiar with the matter in Moscow.

In the first signal of a positive response from President Vladimir Putin to US counterpart Donald Trump’s call for a ceasefire, the offer was conveyed at last month’s talks in Saudi Arabia between top Russian and American officials, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing internal policy.

In order to agree to a cessation of hostilities, there would have to be a clear understanding about the framework principles of the final peace accord, two people with knowledge of the matter said. Russia will insist in particular on establishing the parameters of an eventual peacekeeping mission, including agreement on which countries would take part, said another person familiar with the issue.

No point fighting a war you can't win. Sign the peace deal.

Is it just me? When I see Trump 47 in action, Trump 45 doesn't even look like a president by comparison. He's doing an AMAZING job.

Let Europe sort it on their own, if they don’t make a deal.

cuz Russia's much harder to bully, while Ukraine's much easier & has minerals.

They say Russia only attacked Ukraine because they were trying to join NATO. Ironically, they only wanted to join NATO because they feared being attacked by Russia.

It's not a card game.
If the USA had to give up land they would fight tooth and nail too.

All problems will be solved the minute Russia get the hell out of Ukraine previously held territory. But Russia isn’t going to let that happen at least for now. Tactical maneuvering is needed instead of all out declaration of this or that. Very sensitive and hard nuts to break. This issue is going to make Trump age fast if it doesn’t solve soon. I do believe Trump want this to end soon but how exactly it will is all up in the air.
