Could the war in Ukraine have been prevented through early diplomatic negotiations?

According to Trump, the war in Ukraine could have been settled easily years ago without significant loss of lives, land, or destruction of cities. He states that 'a half-baked negotiator could have settled this' and prevented the devastating human toll that has reached levels not seen since World War II. Trump emphasizes that cities with 'magnificent golden domes' that are thousands of years old have been shattered beyond replacement, permanently altering the region's cultural landscape. He argues that proper leadership and timely diplomatic intervention would have prevented this conflict entirely.
