G7 attempting to maintain unified support for Ukraine while constraining Trump's negotiating leverage; Trump positioned as potential mediator with direct Putin access; Russia weakened by supply chain disruptions but retains military capability; Ukraine's leverage depends on sustained Western support and battlefield pressure.
