It was where it was supposed to be headed. Both Trump and Zekensky wanted it that way. President Trump wanted to show that true face of Zelensky to the people of USA and Ukraine. President Zelensky wanted to exhibit his struggle to the people of USA.
I think Trump is a smart man who is trying to take back what USA spent on Ukraine. Russia wants to expand its territories too.
Trump knows that China is no 1 ally of Russia but Trump knows some realpolitik that normally, nations are friends with neighbour*'s neighbour but not neighbour exactly. So China-Russia alliance is a false alliance. Trump is trying to pull Russia out of this alliance. Reasons could be many -
Trump is getting Russia a good deal.
USA will be getting its rare earth minerals which USA does not have.
Russia will not have to be dependent on China that much
USA might use Soft power of cultural assimilation to get Russia out of this Russia - China alliance
Only country competetive to USA will be China without many allies.
Vance is trying to score some extra points by being vocal.
