Donald Trump tried to end the war in Ukraine and failed. Putin keeps rejecting every deal that could have stopped the bloodshed. Why? Because this war is no longer about territory, diplomacy, or even power - it’s about him. In this video, journalist and writer Mikhail Fishman explains why Vladimir Putin cannot stop the war, even when peace is within reach. From the failed Alaska summit and Trump’s offers to Putin’s transformation into a “leader of faith and war”, Fishman breaks down how propaganda, ego, and fear of weakness keep Russia trapped in an endless cycle of violence.
