True. I don't have any confidence in Trump's administration as peacemaker, though.
It's all a question of how the US wants to pull out of the war. The decision they have to make is whether they value the relationship with Russia or Europe more. Forcing Ukraine to take the deal would burn bridges with Europe, but it would open opportunities to restart economic relations with Russia. Given that European economy is crashing, and that the US now sees China as the main threat, it's entirely possible they make a cynical decision to prioritize securing resource deals with Russia over Europe.
That makes sense.
