Awakened by the beating! Russia is a warrior nation, and Putin is a tough guy! Trump publicly stated that Russia is a great power, but Ukraine is not. Therefore, we must reach an agreement.
Trump's meaning is clear: Russia is a great power, even a nuclear power. Ukraine is just a small country that cannot fight Russia. It would already be enough to keep 80% of its territory. Now, it is necessary to cede land for peace, otherwise even the remaining 80% of territory will not be able to be retained.
Trump said that whether the Russia-Ukraine ceasefire agreement can be reached now depends entirely on Zelensky and Europe. However, one must remember that Russia has huge nuclear potential, which must be taken into account.
Russia has strategic nuclear weapons that can destroy Europe and the United States. Under the threat of Russian nuclear weapons, the United States and NATO would not be able to enter the war. The United States and NATO also dare not escalate military aid to Ukraine.
Regaining control of Ukraine is Russia's core strategy. Russia dares to lose 1 million people for Ukraine, but which Western country would dare to suffer such losses for Ukraine?
Therefore, under the limited military aid from the West, this small country of Ukraine could never defeat Russia. Therefore, admitting defeat and cutting losses is an unavoidable choice.
