This is a desaster for Europe's foreign policy. Do we even have one?
So, Russia only needs to dictate its demands to a US Trumpian stenografer, and hey-presto, we find this a "discutable proposal"?
This is not just UA's surrender but also our own, European abdication of self-interest.

Here's something from my own world. A little SEM image, as one can see, in BSE mode.
It shows magnesiowuestite crystals - the round shapes - which experienced wild swings in T & oxygen potential. So they multiply exsolved, and iron is reduced (the white patches). We use this as natural sensors.

If last time around America was saved from the fascist wave by Roosevelt's New Deal. But this time it is succumbing. Can we in Europe then not accept the role reversal and pacify ourselves with a modernized New Deal? Adopt Roosevelt's Four Freedoms as a program, and Eleanor's standard of decency?

There is a troubling psychology behind why Europeans are accepting their leaders' summer of subservience to "daddy" Donald Trump.
