Trump's Secret Plan
"Handing over Crimea and Donbas to Russia", writes The Washington Post.
Privately, Trump has said that he thinks both russia and Ukraine “want to save face, they want a way out,” and that people in parts of Ukraine would be okay with being part of russia 😡, according to a person who has discussed the matter directly with Trump.
Accepting russian control over parts of Ukraine would expand the reach of Putin’s dictatorship after what has been the biggest land war in Europe since WW II. Some of Trump’s supporters have been trying to persuade him against such an outcome.
Foreign policy experts said Trump’s idea would reward Putin and condone the violation of internationally recognized borders by force.
Besides, Crimea and Donbas is not for Trump to give away - it is part of Ukraine.

"Former president Trump’s inexplicable and admiring relationship with Putin, along with his unprecedented hostility to NATO, cannot give Europe or Ukraine any confidence in his dealings with Russia,” said Tom Donilon, President Barack Obama’s national security adviser. “Trump’s comments encouraging Russia to do whatever it wants with our European allies are among the most unsettling and dangerous statements made by a major party candidate for president. His position represents a clear and present danger to U.S. and European security.”
Russia experts doubted Trump’s peace efforts could succeed. Fiona Hill, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who was Trump’s top Russia adviser and has since emerged as a prominent critic, said it reminded her of 2017 — when unvetted foreigners and business executives approached Trump with various peace plans, and he thought he could sit down with Russia and Ukraine and mediate on the strength of his personal charisma.
Trump’s team “is thinking about this very much in silos, that this is just a Ukraine-Russia thing,” Hill said. “They think of it as a territorial dispute, rather than one about the whole future of European security and the world order by extension.”

Why would anyone attempt to have a discussion with the tangerine twattgrabber about anything more serious than what fat-laden-garbage he's going to shove into his face hole next?
1) He knows absolutely NOTHING about foreign affairs and I guarantee you he could not even point to Ukraine on a globe.
2) Everything he says is a lie. EVERYTHING. There is no point whatsoever in speaking with a pathological liar. NONE.
He's a waste of air.
