So much for "You have nothing", I guess the situation changes when you don't have Putin's pal running the negotiations for you.
I think "Trump lied" summarizes his entire presidency.

Putin’s Limbless Generation Struggles for Support
Russia's propagandists can’t hide the growing number of disabled war veterans struggling with replacement limbs.
Paul Goble’s Window on Eurasia blog reported last year that Russia was still not producing enough prosthetics to meet demand. Despite Kremlin-friendly media lauding domestic progress, video footage circulating on Russian Telegram channels shows veterans describing their prosthetics as “useless plastic trash” or barely functional.
“Without an elbow joint it’s impossible to control it,” one tells the camera as he jerks his prosthesis around. Another clip shows an amputee learning to walk on a leg that appears to be made of plastic bottles. Furthermore, corruption in the healthcare field is increasing in some areas since the Russia began its full-scale invasion, e.g. in Tatarstan.
While Russia cannot meet the physical needs of its disabled fighters, it does still celebrate them with jingoism and special activities featuring its supposedly neutral paralympic athletes.
After Losing Limbs to War, Russian Amputee Veterans Grapple With Officials’ Empty Promises - The Moscow Times
“If there are no disability payments or awards, can I at least get a parrot on my shoulder to fit the image?” says Konstantin, a former Russian soldier who lost his leg during the war in Ukraine, in a comment on social media.

A relative of Putins leads that resort.

Putin needs an off ramp to this war. And he needs it for internal consumption. He was handed an opportunity when Trump was courting him in order to make peace and declare victory to his own people. That time window has now passed. My sense is that now with the mineral deal, the US could simply walk away, continue to supply aid to Ukraine with proceeds from the mineral deal. The US has already expanded Intel and satellite assistance. Putin has shot himself in the foot. I'm wondering how long he can go. Well, he has his new friend.

1. They have been old friends
2. They have been backstabbing each other as old friends
3. China needs Russia to continue this war, a Russia collapsing would be a boon for the Chinese.
