How has the Trump administration misrepresented the Ukraine conflict and what are the implications?

Wendy Sherman explains that President Trump has misrepresented the Ukraine war by blaming Ukraine rather than Russia. She points out that Trump's administration has given 'carrots' to Russia while putting 'sticks' on President Zelensky, despite the fact that it was Vladimir Putin who illegally invaded Ukraine's sovereign territory. This approach undermines peace negotiations and attempts to humiliate Zelensky by taking away his confidence. The administration has made concessions to Russia including embassy normalization and suggesting Ukraine can't join NATO, while excluding Zelensky and the EU from peace talks. Despite these challenges, Sherman notes that Ukrainians remain resilient and committed to achieving a just peace.
