The question from the BBC interviewer was short and to the point. Considering how Vladimir Putin fed him a steady stream of bs about a possible peace deal with Ukraine, might President Donald Trump be ready to admit his “very good relationship” with the Russian president is ending?

Russian President Vladimir Putin has sacrificed an estimated 1 million of his soldiers, killed and wounded, in a three-year campaign to crush Ukraine.

Trump said he would end the war in Ukraine within his first 24 hours in office. His patience with Russia's Putin now appears to be wearing thin.
