Obviously, Trump incorrectly believed that both Russia and Ukraine WANTED to end the war.
But Zelensky's first meeting with Trump proved that Ukraine didn't want to agree to ANY provision that returned territory to Russia, and Russia saw that and stepped up their attacks.

So yeah, Trump was wrong in his assessment, but his secondary strategy IS working, as Russia is being cut off from international sales for their oil which are now being forced by NATO and US sanctions as well as by India, Russia's largest customer, to stop buying their oil.  And China is reeling under the Trump 30% tariff which will only be lowered if they too stop buying Russian oil.

It's a sound strategy, something that a demented idiot like Biden could never have conceived of.

Trump has never promised no NATO membership to Ukraine "period" nor NATO advancement "East" the Former treaty and promise dating back Bush Sr admimistration during the "Soviet Union Collapse" but kept building bases admmiting Eastern European "Former" Soviet counties into since the Last 3/4 decades since..

All Moscow really wanted is Guarentees that Ukraine never join Nato because thats litterally Moscows back door too..

Then Biden and Antony Blinken and European Union kept stoking the flames which led to this INVASION and now 3 years ongoing war.

Dont forget we "repeatedly" violated the same treaty made with Russia countless times since the collapse of Soviet Union about NATO
