The bromance between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin has noticeably fizzled in the new term.

Trump has yet to reveal the extent to which he’ll pressure Russia to end its war with Ukraine .

Experts say words alone won’t compel Putin to give up the quest to subdue Ukraine .

Others favor cutting back the billions of dollars in assistance the U.S. gave to Ukraine as a way of forcing a swift end to the conflict.

Critics say that approach would effectively disarm Ukraine and thus amount to a capitulation to Russia .

Trump has laid out a few ideas for assisting Ukraine while the war continues.
