getting even an inch of Ukraine's territory.. Instead, Russia should pay for all of the necessary reconstruction of Ukraine.

My fear is that Putin doesn't seem to care how many overwhelming casualties this war keeps costing him and he continues to brutally attack Ukraine's civilian targets while peace negotiations are supposedly taking place. Meanwhile, the felon's administration has lost interest in being a partner for peace, he's more interested in his massive ballroom, taking over Venezuela or Greenland, his constant losing court battles and he now has a photo of himself and Putin on display in the While House.
