So: Russia flatly rejected one Trump envoy (Kellogg), made the next one (Witkoff) wait for eight hours, rejected the ceasefire, and instructed Trump that his job is to give Russia what it wants. That’s what Trump means by "respect" I guess.

Pentagon nominee deflects on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in hearing
Another top Pentagon nominee wouldn't acknowledge that Russia invaded Ukraine.

He says n’importe quoi. The US almost blocked Marshall aid because the Europeans kept bickering and refusing to agree on anything. The US needed a solid block against the communist threat at the time and therefore wanted European unity more than the Europeans themselves.

Trump’s America is Putin’s ally now
Europe and Ukraine are learning how little the U.S. cares, as the new president aligns himself with their greatest enemy.
The thing about a war is it forces people to pick a side. And Donald Trump, it seems to many in Europe, is siding with Vladimir Putin.
