Russia is extremely war weary. They are looking for a way to save face. Trump will give them that. Trump will also likely be pulling back military support for Ukraine, which will force Ukraine's hand. Trump will hold some press conference giving himself a major pat on the back.
Basically, we go back to the status quo before the war. Everyone involved gets to spin it like they've won. In reality hundreds of thousands of people died needlessly. Russia has hastened their inevitable decline away from being a world power, as they've depleted their previously massive stores of weapons and accelerated their own population decline.

Easy options to put forward with no dog in the fight.
There is a lot of other land still under Ivan's heel.
Sorry I appreciate your responses and don't mean to lash out.
All that death and destruction for naught.
