In the long list of ignored warnings, this statement by Fiona Hill from 2019(!) deserves our attention (& shame). She explicitly describes Putin's 'Venezuela Swap' with Trump, for Ukraine. Putin's cries for his pall Maduro are as fake as Trump's care for the innocent people of Ukraine (& elsewhere).
Testimony by Fiona Hill on deal between Trump and Putin, from 2019 - over swapping Venezuela for Ukraine.

Dit bepaalt Cuperus op basis van zijn gevoel? De stelling dat “de uitslag veel rechtser was dan we lijken te beseffen” is totale onzin. De extreemrechtse coalitie verloor 37 zetels, rechts heeft geen meerderheid meer in de Kamer. Het centrum was de grote winnaar. Dat feit negeren zou crimineel zijn.

It’s unfair to compare Trump to Chamberlain. Chamberlain didn’t know if Hitler could be trusted, and he was a decent man trying to avoid another war. Putin has no benefit of doubt left. He’s shown over and over he won’t honor any deal.

Under the Trump-Putin deal, Ukraine would have to give up 6600 km² of Ukrainian land and would only get 440 km² of occupied Ukrainian land from the Russians. Mind you, those 6600 km² contain some of the strongest and most important Ukrainian defensive positions.
