Trump is getting the Ukraine-Russia war all wrong - and he's making it even harder on himself
Briefly

President Trump's efforts to resolve the Ukraine war are hampered by his misguided alignment, placing pressure on Ukrainian President Zelensky rather than addressing the true aggressor, Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has shown a willingness to engage in negotiations, accepting proposals for a ceasefire and direct talks, while Trump adopts a surprisingly conciliatory stance towards Putin, which undermines the situation's power dynamics. This 'mad man' approach appears less effective with Putin, who receives a gentler treatment, complicating the prospects for a resolution to the ongoing conflict.
President Trump may struggle to end the Ukraine war, as his approach seems to wrongly focus more pressure on Ukraine than on the actual instigator, Russia.
Zelensky has shown a willingness to negotiate and accept terms proposed by Russia, contrasting Trump's more favorable stance towards Putin, complicating peace efforts.
