It is not peace that he Zelenskyy and the USA are negotiating. It is giving the minerals in Ukraine to the USA in return for more weapons to fight the war. How is being given more weapons a path to peace. I find it difficult to reconcile.
Trump is forcing Zelenskyy's hand, oops, knowing Zelenskyy has no hands to negotiate, in return for a deal to have access to Ukraine's minerals that the USA desperately needs. How does a peace deal be hyped up to be dependent on the mineral deal is difficult to understand.
A peace deal has not yet been reached, and Trump is already pretty confident that he will have access to the minerals, most of which are mainly found in Eastern Ukraine, controlled by Russia. Has Putin agreed to share them with the USA I am not sure?
Moreover, there are more important issues to be trashed out regarding territories to be negotiated, concessions to be given and take, what kind of negotiated peace it will entail, who is going to oversee the truce and who is to be involved in peacekeeping roles. NATO and vis a vis USA peacekeeping role must surely be out of the question, otherwise the war is fought over nothing. NATO is trying to gain a foothold in Ukraine and allowing that is basically seen as caving in by Putin.

Ukraine suddenly landed on Putin's lap, LOL. But I doubt Putin wants Ukraine to be ruled by Russia. Like Iraq, Ukraine is infested by Nazi terrorists that will be difficult for Putin to control. Putin will tell the USA, controlling Crimea and Eastern Ukraine is good enough. That region is the richest in terms of manufacturing and agriculture, not to talk about minerals.
