Unfortunately, the USA's reprieve was temporary. Trump only needed an additional 40,000 votes in a couple of districts last time in order to have won in the Electoral College and there's every chance he'll win in 2024, so he can go back into the White House and complete his demolition job. In the end, all Putin has to do is endure, because we in the West have totally failed to wake up and grasp the existential nature of this moment in time. Helping Ukraine avoid collapse is not the same as enabling Ukraine to win, and so as NATO runs out of munitions and continues to refuse to provide serious quantities of essential equipment such as fighter jets and MBTs, chances are by the time Trump waddles back into the Oval Office, Ukraine will be "negotiating" a (very temporary) "peace."
