John,
Without direct involvement and security clearances in US, Russia and Ukraine, you and me can't know.
Not a good start to a plan of action. The only plan seems to be to get the US on the hook for a show-down proxy war. Not my vote.

Let me tell a story about the olden' days.

Back in the 80s, there was this theocratic personification of all that is evil named Ayatollah Khamenei. We were told that his theocratic state had a master plan to subjugate all of the people in the world to something called Islam.

We supplied a benevolent warrior for ten years in a stalemate border war to defeat this monster. That warrior was Sadam Hussein.

But then that warrior invaded our good friends the Saudi Arabians and the Kuwaitis. And the benevolent warrior became the personification of all that is evil. And we were told that by our friends the Saudis and the Kuwatis that he must be stopped.

So we went to war and fought shoulder to shoulder with our good friends the Saudis and defeated the monster. But it was a play nice war so we stopped at the border and said, "dont do it again."

But then, the World Trade Center was attacked by some yahoo militants who studied how to take off jet airliners with no concern for how to land them.
And 15 of 19 of them were Saudi Arabian nationals. But of course, none of them had any connection whatsoever with the good Saudis, our friends and the lovely people that we see over there today.

But the US was wounded and pissed. We were told that Sadam had collected nasty weapons of mass destruction and that he must be invaded again and stopped. The US told Sadam that we needed to come in and see anything that we wanted to, and Sadam said F-off. Wrong answer. So we bombed him out, invaded and decided to democratize his country.

Many people in this country are weary with such scenarios.

Trump would have known what the Saudis really were and would have said that the US will come get them their country back, but we are taking some oil fields for doing it. Rightly so.

And now there is Ukraine et al.

Let Trump do his thing.
At the moment, it is the only good thing going.
