Rumors that US Senator Marco Rubio will soon become the new US Secretary of State lend credence to the narrative that the Trump administration may attempt to coerce Kyiv into a peace settlement.
Trump nominated Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence. From Wikipedia:
In 2022, she stated that NATO and the Biden administration not taking the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO off the table may be one of the factors provoking the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[291][292] She also argued against economic sanctions on Russia on the basis that Americans would suffer from higher oil and gas prices.[291] Gabbard stated that “the Washington power elite” is trying to turn Ukraine into another Afghanistan.[293] In March 2022, she said media freedom in Russia is “not so different” from that in the United States. PolitiFact described her claim as false, noting that in Russia the government represses independent media and free speech, including imprisoning critics of the invasion of Ukraine.[294]
In February 2024, Trump met with Gabbard, who has been an outspoken critic of aid to Ukraine, to discuss the future of US foreign policy in case of his re-election.[295]

Gabbard is no less than a hostile takeover of the CIA/NSA by the GRU
