Trump shows unusual patience as Putin stalls on Ukraine
www.axios.com

... President Trump has repeatedly shifted his positions on Ukraine to accommodate Russian President Vladimir Putin, even as Putin has given very little in return.

Why it matters: Trump's critics claim he's getting played -- that Putin has no intention of making peace and is stringing him along. But White House officials tell Axios they still believe Putin is about to take tangible steps towards a deal.

The big picture: For now, Trump has given Putin much of what the Russian president had hoped for: no ceasefire, no more sanctions, an intra-NATO divide, and a remarkable amount of leeway from a U.S. leader not known for his patience. ...

Is Pres Trump's task regrading Ukraine done?

Pres Trump seems to have already given Pres Putin what he wanted in this first phase.

Maybe cede more of Ukraine's sovereign territory to Pres Putin?

Oh, wait ...

What were VP Vance's recent comments about?

Yup.

Pres Trump and VP Vance both seem to be actively telling Pres Putin to go further in his invasion of a sovereign Ukraine.

Why?
