Demilitarization of Ukraine and Ukraine not in NATO could have been a bargaining point but Trump gave it as a gift to Putin. Though I highly doubt Putin would have accepted anything less than that after all the lives lost.

The only bargain left is of size of land. The deal could be Donbass and Kherson east of Dnieper river given under Russian control and the region of Kursk occupied by Ukraine and Kharkhiv occupied by Russia exchanged.

Regarding the use of natural resources in Ukraine territory post war, Zelensky could get a better deal if he talked straight to Putin but there's very low chances of it.

It seems that Ukraine may become the first country in history that lost a war that will pay reparations not to the winner, but to an ally.

The fact that usa russia don't even discuss with eu or ukraine show's that they don't respect eu.
Trump and hegseth seems like strong guys who don't listen people who got no real life experince and knowledge of anything.
The way they talk it's tough....you got to talk with confidence not just blahhh.... zelensky don't talk the way he can receive respect he need to be on more point and should wear suit nice tailored suit not walking around with some not nice clothes.
So respect is anything
