One thing to come out of the 'No messing about' Trump rant is that it has shaken up the West from their deluded attitude that all is safe and well, so cut back on defence and concentrate on enforcing diversity and looking after third world citizens.
If it hadn't been for the USA supply of weapons and finance not much of Ukraine would be left standing now. Only the presence of the US and to a lesser degree, the UN has prevented Russia from all out war.
Zelensky can't, more or less keep demanding help from the West, as Trump implied. He is the only one who can stop this war and Zelensky has to tow the line if he wants to finish it, on whatever terms.
Putin isn't stupid enough to progress further West.
One interesting aside is that Mrs Zelensky has alledgedly been seen driving around Paris in a new Bugatti and having a big spending spree on designer clothes!
