I understand the demands, and Ukrainian civil society keeps amazing me by it's democratic vigor. However, from what I understood, Fedorov declined all appointements proposed by Zel. He could not reinstate him as DefMin, because Ukr needs equilibriumwith DefMin and army command on the same boat.

🇺🇸🇺🇦👀 What is your reaction to Zelensky's post after his meeting with Trump? What do you think will happen next?
Let's have a laugh... A Russian couple has been waiting in line at a gas station for hours; the guy says, "I've really had enough—I'm going to go kill Putin!" When he comes back, his wife asks, "So, how did it go?" The guy replies, "I came back; the line to kill Putin is even longer than this one."

Putin wants all of ukraine, zelensky wants russians out, so yes they both want a deal. They are just not very close to it.
Did you know that it were Anglo-French aggressors who instigated the WWII fighting Nazis and who had no desire to stop it? October 1939, Defense Commissar Voroshilov

Unknown history: Lokot autonomy/republic in occupied Russia (Oct 41-Aug 43): '... ruled by Russian civil administration ... to serve as a test case for a Russian collaborating government under the SS' With own forces up to 10.000 men '... completely massacred the Jewish population of the area.'
Looks like a precedens... It can be done, you can discuss with Zelensky even behind's Putin's back. Also, one can get some concessions after the war is over from Ukraine when you prove you are useful for them. At the end - the new Russian government will be somebodies from Putin's circle
2024: Trump might leave Ukraine alone to face Russia. Ukrainians: fear, anxiety, uncertainty. 2026: Trump leaves Russia alone to face Ukraine. Russians: fear, anxiety, uncertainty. 😄
"and something went wrong" is a 4-word summary of the whole of russian history since about AD 1200.
