"Does Trump need peace in Ukraine? Yes, he does. There are several reasons:
1. Humanitarian. Trump, like any normal moral and mental person, wants to stop this carnage. And to do this, remove the cause of the war. And he sees the causes of the war on both sides. Which the West has not recognized before. Therefore, Trump wants to remove the disrespect for Russia's interests.
2. Political. There are no serious geopolitical reasons for the US war against Russia in Ukraine. This is largely a personal war of Biden and his team.
3. Personal. Trump wants to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for stopping this war [sounds like total nonsense to me, but Markov probably knows better].
4. Chinese. Trump believes that the main competitor of the United States is China. And sanctions against the Russian economy are pushing it into the arms of the Chinese economy.
5. American economic. Spending on Ukraine is huge. And Trump wants to remove this spending.
6. Military. Trump does not see any clear scenario for Ukraine's victory. If victory is not possible, then we must leave.
7. Strategic. The Ukrainian war is a proxy war between Russia and the United States, and this puts the world on the brink of nuclear war and the destruction of humanity. Therefore, this threat must be removed.
8. Thus, Trump has a number of significant systemic reasons to strive to establish peace in Ukraine"
