Trump is preparing for another meeting with Putin. What would it take to end the Ukraine war?

When Donald Trump met Vladimir Putin in Alaska back in August, he rolled out the red carpet, talked up his ability to end the war, but ultimately came away with no deal.

Now, high off his recent Middle East peace deal, Trump is saying he’s “gotta get Russia done”.

He met Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky last week – and he’s preparing another face-to-face with Putin.

So what would it take to end the war?

Today, Associate Professor of Political science and International Affairs at George Washington University David Szakonyi discusses the offers Putin is making Trump and what they’ll mean for the people of Ukraine.
