When Putin invaded Ukraine in February 2022, these were his main demands:

1⃣ Ukrainian recognition of the loss of the territories invaded and occupied by Russia;

2⃣ The removal of Volodymyr Zelensky’s government;

3⃣ A ban on Ukraine joining NATO;

4⃣ An end to foreign military aid to Ukraine.

In recent days, Donald Trump has stated that, for there to be “peace,” Ukraine will have to make territorial concessions to Russia (point 1⃣), Zelensky will have to resign (point 2⃣), Ukraine will be barred from joining NATO (point 3⃣), and yesterday, by blocking U.S. military aid to Ukraine, Trump granted Putin his demand number 4⃣.
