The world is watching for the peace negotiations promised by you. The world is more concerned about the 1.2 to 1.5 million lost or destroyed Ukrainian lives, and the unknown number of Russian lives, than they are about the $300 B the US has given Ukraine.
Before you put too much hope in getting equivalent wealth back from Ukraine in a commercialized peace deal, remember that most of Ukraine's rare earth resources, about $7.8 trillion dollars worth, sits in the region of eastern Ukraine that is populated with Russians. The Russians already control it.
The remaining wealth of Ukraine is largely agricultural. That is in the west, on land controlled or owned by Cargill, Dupont, and Monsanto.
Prior to any meeting with President Putin, it might be helpful for Gen. Kellogg and your diplomatic staff to study the Austrian State Treaty of1955.
On May 15, 1955, representatives of the governments of the Soviet Union, Great Britain, the United States, and France signed a treaty that granted Austria independence and arranged for the withdrawal of all Soviet occupation forces. These governments signed the agreement with the understanding that the newly independent state of Austria would declare its neutrality, creating a buffer zone between the East and the West. The Austrian State Treaty was the only treaty signed by both the Soviet Union and United States in the decade after the 1947 Paris Peace Treaties, and it marked the only Cold War era withdrawal by the Soviet Union from a territory it occupied. The treaty was honored by the Soviets. Their troops were withdrawn rapidly and efficiently.

Putin has been consistent from the before the Military Operation that he simply wants to be left alone by NATO, the EU and the US. His terms for peace have been reasonable and have not changed.
Alastair Crooke:
"There are reports that Macron and Starmer agreed in a conversation that Zelensky must conduct some provocative operation [this week]
"--a false flag operation or a provocative attack into Russia, into the depth of Russia or something else--sufficient to create an absolute pressure on Putin to respond, and thus to destroy the meeting altogether, to stop the meeting taking place.
"The Europeans are terrified of the [Alaska] meeting taking place [on Friday] and they want to stop it. I believe the Russians have probably picked up on it, suggesting that there is going to be an attempt to create some incident, some security catastrophe, that creates the impossibility of following up on this meeting. And the Euros are trying to insert Zelensky into Alaska, whether invited or ...
"For four hundred years, Americans lived in a world wherein your brother, your neighbor, your town and region were your responsibility. And where you yourself, could do anything under the commodious carapace of the King of Kings.
"More than anything, the CIA wanted Christianity destroyed; it bred self-determination and strength. Under MKUltra, and mostly at Stanford’s Research Center, using the flower children and rock scene of L.A. and San Francisco, they figured out how to ruin human potential.
"In fact, they called it the human potential movement, in a typical inversion of reality. What it did was celebrate and encourage your worst impulses, praise your degradation, tell you that weakness is your strength, supplant your heritage with the heritage of foreign faiths and experimental practices."
