Crazy demands still in play. Axios reports Putin proposed freezing the front in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson in exchange for Ukraine pulling out of Donetsk, and also asked Trump to recognize the occupied regions plus Crimea as part of Russia.

If true, this is what Trump is asking Ukraine to accept.

🇺🇸🤔🇺🇦 Trump told European leaders peace could come quickly if Zelensky ceded all of Donbas to Russia, including areas not under Russian control, - NYT

In return, Putin offered a cease-fire along current lines and a written pledge not to attack Ukraine or Europe again, a promise he has broken before.

Former President of Russia confirms that Putin now totally owns this US President.

- Trump confirmed to Putin no sanctions.

- Trump agrees that only Ukraine AND Europe surrendering to Russia can end the war.

By mere flattery, Putin has totally paralyzed the US.
