But they announced already did they not.

Ukraine and Russia start peace negotiations where Ukraine has to make concessions.
If Ukraine refuses, no more aid
If Russia refuses, more aid for ukraine

I don't believe them, but this was what camp Trump communicated. Or am I wrong.

If Ukraine refuses, provide aid to Russia

Fixed it for you

Two of his advisors said that and then his spokesman said only statements made by Trump himself or authorised members of his campaign should be considered official

That’s why it’s official policy that you should choose electrocution over shark attack if you are in an electric boat.

From the start that is unacceptable. Russia should be making concessions, not Ukraine. Russia is the aggressor. Russia is in the wrong. All of the deaths and all of the destruction are the sole responsibility of Putin and his toadies.

Agreed. But in the world view of Putin, Russia is a great power and the states in Russias orbit of influence are their vassals to do with as they please.

And if then colonial oppressors come along and start to tell these countries they have the right to freedom, self determination and all that nonsense, that disrupts the right of Russia to loot and pillage these countries.

So when Ukranians said "no" to Russia, they needed to be hammered back into their place. And it is all the fault of the west for getting these stupid ideas into their heads.

Same with Trump. Everyone knows his reputation. So of you are dumb enough to do work for him without getting "cash up front", you deserve not getting paid. And shame on the Justice Department for then getting the idea that he should be held to account.
