Trump has not delivered the quick Russia-Ukraine peace deal he promised, which is bad news for anyone hoping the war ends soon.

• Trump bragged he could end the war in one day, but never did.
• His dealmaking skills do not work well in diplomacy.
• People inside the U.S. government who oppose any deal with Russia are blocking progress.
• Trump is now so focused on Iran and the Middle East that Ukraine gets little attention.

Outlook: With Trump distracted and resistance strong, the Ukraine war looks stuck right where it started.
