Even as a condition to a Black Sea ceasefire (and where is what's left of their Black Sea fleet right now?) Putin wants banking sanctions etc lifted.
He's playing Trump like a fiddle whilst laughing at him!
It appears to me that Putin and Trump may be looking at these negotiations as a game because let's face it, these elitist power hungry leaders don't have friends or family in the cross-hairs. On the other hand, Zelensky cares about his people and the sovereignty of their land, so he is coming from a different position, a different place.
It may well be that Zelensky will be the one to give up the most for peace.
