AI Summary:
Donald Trump did not stop the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of his inauguration. But three weeks into his presidency, things got moving in that direction at a breakneck speed. On February 12, Trump called Russian President Vladimir Putin and posted on Truth Social that they agreed to work together in order to stop ‘millions of deaths taking place’ Russia would always have the final word in any regional war as a major nuclear power. Sooner or later a US administration was going to cut support for Ukraine because it was unsustainable. The Democrats are lucky that they did not have to do it and now get to use it in their domestic battle against the GOP. Zelenskyy has repeatedly said that Western security guarantees are of little value without US involvement. At the same time, the Kremlin will likely see any NATO troops on Ukrainian territory as a Trojan horse. The main contingents will have to come from the Global South. Zelenskyy needs to show that he has tried every avenue, even the most improbable ones, and that the West still betrayed him. With that, he can succumb to the inevitable.
