FWIW – she puts a LOT of conditions on giving her approval.

But “Russia” may not be “defeated” in this war unless or until other European nations set up and provide material and men, as there are only so many Ukrainians to go around to protect the existing battle lines plus watch for incursions elsewhere.

It is puzzling why in the age of missiles (as om has mentioned) why Putin thinks an expanded imperial geography can really provide the protection from invasion he claims to be seeking. But with or without help from his “allies”, he can probably produce enough missiles and drones and ammo to keep the civilian populations under bombardment for some time.
It would have been easier and cheaper to just move and build a new Russian capital 800 to 1000 miles further east if the desire is for a “buffer zone”.
But if Trump can wish to best Obama or others; Putin can wish to be a new Peter the Great, I suppose.

My opinion is that Russia is stalling. Trump needs to be firm about setting deadlines and moving on.

Russia may think they can outlast Trump and whatever sanctions he puts on them. After all, they
can hope that maybe the fickle U.S. voters will elect another Joe Biden type in 2028.

I think Trump wants to stop this war so bad that he can be conned for a while. I would like to be hopeful but am not at this point.
