    Russia isn’t negotiating in good faith. They find reasons to start/stop negotiations, they propose ceasefires while continuing to attack, etc. Basically they feel that time is on their side and they won’t have much to lose unless they are presented with real stakes. Difficult to do since neither the US or Europe wants a direct “hot” war with Russia, and meanwhile Putin doesn’t value human life. If he has to throw a couple hundred thousand more conscripts into the meatgrinder, that doesn’t bother him in the slightest.

    They were never actually serious. They wanted to fleece Ukraine and still let Russia take it over.

      Wouldn’t be the first time, won’t be the last.

      Talk is usually cheap. But to his followers it’s all that matters.

    Mind you, as soon as a peace eldeal has been brokered, however good or bad it will be, trump will claim it’s all his work.
