• According to the Kremlin and the White House, the video call between Donald Trump and Vladímir Putin has advanced towards peace in Ukraine.
• Putin rejects Trump's immediate and unconditional 30-day ceasefire proposal, only accepting a prisoner exchange and a pause in bombing.
• Trump has given up quite a few privileges to Putin at the expense of the guarantees that Zelenski asked him for a sustainable ceasefire.
• Putin negotiates with maximalist objectives that include the disarmament and neutralization of Ukraine.
• Russia wants Ukraine to stop receiving weapons and military intelligence supplies and that no western force ensures peace.
• Trump promised peace in Ukraine and Gaza after returning to the presidency, but he has not succeeded.

Conclusion: Trump's diplomacy favors Putin, leaving Ukraine in a subordinate position, while Europe is marginalized from the negotiation.
