Trump administration positioning itself as primary mediator, reducing EU influence in peace process. US leverage over Ukraine through reconstruction aid and military support. Russia maintaining maximalist territorial demands, testing US commitment to Ukrainian sovereignty. Shift toward bilateral US-Russia negotiations potentially marginalizing Ukrainian agency.
Similar to Cold War-era superpower negotiations over regional conflicts (Vietnam, Afghanistan), where direct talks between major powers often sidelined local actors' interests, risking imposed settlements.
