    Neither can Ukraine.

    Bullies aren’t usually the best people to negotiate peace between a bully and a victim who is standing up to them.

      Neither can Ukraine.

      True, but Ukraine has played this game pretty well in my opinion. They keep negotiations going, speak nicely about the deal in public and at least in here media represents Ukraine as willing and open of discussion about whatever deal Trump suggests, no matter how bat shit crazy they are.

      I mean, Ukraine isn’t stupid enough to sign off all of their wealth to USA or surrender land without any significant gain. But they can now at least say that they’re willing to discuss about the matter while Russia just bluntly rejects the proposals.
