The day after Vladimir V. Putin began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Ms. Gabbard blamed the United States and NATO for provoking the war by ignoring Russia’s security concerns. - ges

Putin does have some legitimate security concerns that will be problematic for any deal Trump attempts. Tulsi is right. The issue is just not swapping occupied territory and calling it a day. I heard a General explain a while back on the network that shall not be named, how a ground war would unfold in that theater. One thing, Ukraine joining NATO creates a hot border whereas a neutral Ukraine provides a buffer. I don't have advice for Trump or Putin on the matter, just saying other issues exist.
