The US is probably demanding something completely unacceptable to Russia like the European "peacekeeping" forces in Ukraine they've been talking about.
I don't know where that idea came from or why anyone thought it would be accepted (if they did think that). It just completely defeats the whole point of the war to keep NATO forces out of Ukraine.
I guess Trump doesn't actually want a deal that badly if that's the case. That or his people are telling him Putin is being the unreasonable one without giving him any detail on what Putin is rejecting.

Not to sound like a Trump supporter but I wish Trump would handle these discussions alone and directly with Putin.
They'd reach a deal quickly. Get Rubio and these other dumbasses out of there, they're probably messing it up with all their agendas and demands. Trump probably doesn't give a fuck about a peace keeping force or NATO ot whatever else, he probably just wants some raw materials and would trade Kiev for them in a second if he could.

i think not usa, but ukraine doesn't want to. As russians decided on some not touching z-man losing strat, it's impossible to unblock ukraine political process in any way, they are just little dictatorship of the president, with no other opinions allowed in public sphere.

I always figured that because of people like Rubio and other neo-cons who whisper in Trump's ear and appeal to his sense not to look "weak" and like a "total loser" that Russia would never get an actual deal with the US and that they probably know this but are using it to 1) try anyways and 2) keep the tension down and make as much progress as possible in the war-front as once this collapses it's possible that one of the reactions of the Trump admin is sending even more weapons to Ukraine to try to punish Russia 3) to prevent more sanctions and economic warfare which Trump loves and will likely go to if the Russians don't bend the knee.
So the real question is how bad do things get? Does Trump just push through the minerals deal and then walk away after slapping a few more sanctions and thievery on Russia and let Ukraine collapse? Or does he decide he needs to "secure" the minerals and do the unthinkable and either start arming Ukraine again as fast as they can and perhaps escalating or even worse put US troops or NATO troops in to "guard" the resources. I do think he's somewhat afraid of nuclear war unlike a lot of the ghouls he surrounds himself with so US troops seems less likely though I think he'll use maximum economic pressure and warfare on Russia.
