Europe Kiev Shock; US To Quit Talks, Ukraine War, Unless Deal In Days; Medvedev Welcomes US Stance (Alexander Mercouris)

Trump is now rushing to end the useless war in Ukraine to concentrate on other matters more relevant to the USA. However, US proposals to end the war fall short of key Russian demands - so no deal is likely to be made with them. The Ukrainians are also reluctant to agree to any deal. The end result will hopefully be the withdrawal of US support. This will hasten the Ukrainian military collapse and end the fighting.
