Also in the news is a story that a Russian -- Vadim Krasikov -- being held by the Germans for murdering an alleged Chechen rebel in broad daylight in a park within Germany in 2019 is closely allied with Putin (surprise) and Putin desperately wants him returned to Russia. How desperately? This guy is now a chit that Putin demands back from GERMANY as a condition for releasing some of the other Americans currently being held in Russia for various charges.

Essentially, Putin has shed ANY pretense of operating Russia like a remotely legitimate country. It has become a ICBM armed gang of street thugs specializing in kidnapping, murder-for-hire and general extortion of anyone within their grasp for the perceived personal gain of the man at the top.

Will the US ask Germany to participate in any deal?

If asked, will Germany agree?

I hope not, to both questions.
