Ukraine gave up their nukes in exchange for protection from key countries, among them the United States. That didn't work. Trump "negotiated" a cease fire, which Russia broke right away. That didn't work. Trump's offer wouldn't help, and Zel would be misinformed to take him up on it.

Besides, maybe I've lost track, but didn't Rumpy fire all the nuclear people who could have managed that scenario?
