I read something in foxnews searching the net (not the most reliable source).
But it creates a context to what Trump’s thinking.
" Russia has insisted it will not sign a peace agreement until Ukraine agrees to hold elections, and the U.S. is now “floating” the idea of a three-stage plan:"
ceasefire,
then Ukrainian elections,
then inking of a peace.
Trump’s trying to arrange nr 2, by insulting Zelensky about being a dictator and forcing elections
Trump is doing the work for Ruzzia, so fuck him. Ukraine won’t accept this and neither will Europe.
What Russia means by “elections” is a referendum held in Donbas – where most of the the native Ukraine population can’t vote because they were killed or displaced. And anyone still left who doesn’t vote the right way gets tortured or disappeared.

So they can “elect” putty
This is basically what Russia wanted, why are they even calling it a negotiations?
What they are discussing is removing sanctions on Russia and discussing how far NATO borders should move.
Trump has clearly decided that Ukraine will either be Russian or be Russian.
