Even before Friday, Trump has already handed Putin several victories:
1. Trump helps Putin out of the paria role and back on the world stage, which will boost his popularity at home.

3. Trump helps Putin create an image of Ukraine not being a real country with a seat at the table, but a piece of land to be traded by the powerful.
4. The US is again portrayed as naive and inferior to Russia.
