That the conditions are not ripe on the ground for a ceasefile (or peace agreement) and said that it may take another 2 years for that to be the case. One reason is that both Putin and Trump keep moving the goalposts and that is a very clear signal on intentions. Another is that Trump hasn't even brought up the 20,000 Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russian forces early in the war.

What is going on now reminds me of Vietnam negotiations where it took roughly 2 years to move beyond the shape of the negotiating table.
