Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

What concessions has Russia offered to get to peace? Trump: "Stopping the war. Stopping taking the whole country. Pretty big concession." Trump is projecting Putin's phony narrative and using it to set the terms of the conclusion to the war - in Russia's advantage. This is no concession at all.
