President Donald Trump says talks to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are “very well advanced.” And he says he's confident that Russian leader Vladimir Putin won't press to restart the war if a truce can be reached.
He violated the Budapest Memorandum (Ukraine agreeing to give up their nuclear weapons in return for the US and Russia promising no aggression and to come to Ukraine’s defense in the event of aggression) only 20 years after it was signed by Russia when he annexed Crimea. He may as well have shredded it when he launched the “Special Military Operation.”

That’s different. He really means it this time.
