If we acknowledge that Trump just serves Putin, everything becomes clear.
Putin's word is Trump's law, although Putin lies as much as Trump.
Trump does not care about Ukraine, Europe or NATO.
Trump will not offer Ukraine any benefit whatsoever, nor has he done so far.

Russian oil collapse: December had record number of strikes on Russian oil infrastructure.
Since August, drone sanctions have devastated the Russian oil industry, crippled revenues, and led to fuel shortages.
And 2026 will be catastrophic as strike numbers keep rising monthly.

Btw, invoking the Cuban Missile Crisis to justify/explain Ru’s aggression in Ukraine is a disqualifying level of idiocy. 7 decades later, Cuba still has a hostile, anti-American regime. When Ru invaded Ukr over a Ukr domestic issue, Ukr was neutral, had no Western weapons, or a NATO invitation.
