Of course, Trump and Putin are negotiating peace leaving one of the fundamental actors of the function: Ukraine.

Ukraine fears that he is forced to give up his borders prior to 2022. Something that the United States already takes for granted. “For me, there will have to be territorial concessions too,” Keith Kellog said, US delegate for the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
