It may be just my understanding, but listen carefully between the lines and what you realize is that "if" there is a meeting between Trump and Putin, what will be on the table is not Ukraine, the war is already lost and Trump doesn't really care anyway, but the future of Europe. In other words another Yalta.
This may be the reason why all the European leaders are running wild like headless chicken. What would you do? You've put all your eggs in a basket which is about to get crushed. To put it mildly: Europe is going to face very hard times, very soon and cannot do much about it.
In particular and ominously, Europe has no army to speak of. Their only hope therefore is to engage themselves deep into the conflict in Ukraine with too little forces so that the US is obliged to come to the rescue. The answer from Trump to such a request would of course be no, although there is one wild card left: The neo-cons in Washington. Can the gambit work? Who knows? But the stakes couldn't be higher.
