That's Trump has actually like talked about his approach and framed it that way. I think it's pretty clear that, that the Trump team is gonna push for negotiations. Will that work, though? It's possible Russia may just say no. They may say, we're winning on the battlefield. We're walking away from this.

In which case, you know, Trump has said that he would tell Putin like he's just going to give Zelensky everything right now. He's going to send him all the weapons, let him do whatever he wants. So I don't think it's out of the question. This could actually end with the U.S. escalating its involvement in the war in Ukraine.

And then there's the question, you know, what does a deal actually look like? You can say we want to freeze the lines in place. I think there is a consensus developing that this is going to end with some current internationally recognized Ukrainian territory held by Russia. But the Ukrainians are going to want security guarantees.

They don't want a repeat of the deals they've made in the past where they've sort of agreed to ceasefires with Russia and then Russia's violated them. And so, you know, they say they want full membership in NATO. That, to be honest, seems unlikely. But so then what does security guarantees look like? You know, is it... basing Western troops in Ukraine?

Is it, you know, providing them with a lot more military aid? If they don't get that, I could see the Ukrainians just walking away from the deal saying, we're going to keep fighting with whatever we have. We shouldn't assume that, you know, this war is going to end just because Donald Trump wants it to.
