Unfortunately, the summit appears to have been a failure for Ukraine. It sounds like any peace deal on the table, palatable to Putin, will involve Ukraine giving up the land Russia has already taken (20% of its former territory). It's interesting how some of the rightwing media outlets are now framing Zelenskyy as the war-monger. I've even heard some of the media outlets hint of a vague future US-Russia alliance. That would be unprecedented and probably highly unlikely. It's a strange time we live in.

From what I read it sounds like Putin demanded territories that he is unlikely to take by force in the next five years. Like the most fortified area of the Donbas region that Ukraine is holding right now. Which if Ukrainians give that up they would be idiots, because that is basically opening the road to Kiev...
I hadn't heard that but it doesn't surprise me. I don't think he'll stop trying to reclaim all of the old Soviet land either. It's a game of chess for him.
