President Trump entered office determined to get a cease-fire in the Russia-Ukraine war. He repeatedly said his goal was to stop the killing. 

Mr. Trump was even willing to concede a few wins to President Putin. He recognized Russian possession of Crimea, accepted that occupied territory in Eastern Ukraine would remain in Russia’s control, and agreed to leave Ukraine out of NATO.

Mr. Trump’s concessions to Mr. Putin were so one-sided and painful that it was extremely difficult for President Zelensky. This led to a complete blowup at a White House meeting.
