If you want Ukraine to stop bombing Russia there's actually a really easy fix that they could implement tomorrow.
Have Russia end their invasion.

Please continue to bomb russian oil and seize/sink their tankers. I'll gladly pay increased fuel prices on my end.
He offered no further details. Zelenskyy said he was surprised by the announcement but would agree to it if Vladimir Putin did the same. “If President Trump negotiated it with Putin – please tell us when the ceasefire begins. We are ready and we will accept it,” the Ukrainian president told the Axios website.
Zelenskyy shouldn't offer to accept a Trump-brokered deal so readily given that Trump has no incentive to negotiate with Ukraine's best interests in mind.
It won’t matter, Putin won’t accept it anyways. This has happened many times before. Zelenskyy knows how to deal with Trump.
No, this is a good play. It's all bullshit anyway, but it buys Zelenskyy some goodwill if he plays along. It also makes Trump look stupid when he doesn't follow up. There's literally no downsides. The only downside would be if it's real and Putin actually follows it. Neither of these would happen though.

Not sure how this would be a downside, Ukraine would be happy to get an energy ceasefire going into the cold months
Fair. Maybe it wouldn't be. Strategically, I think it'd be a negative for them though. They've had much more luck striking energy targets than Russia has. I can see the argument for it being a win no matter what too though.
He really did negotiate something with one party being completely uninvolved, didn't he?
I doubt he talked with either
if I read this correctly, it seems that neither russia nor ukraine were involved
just pure halucinated bullshit
He's been hallucinating things since before AI made it cool. A true trendsetter. The best.
You mean SI.
He negotiated it in his head, and is probably surprised that his thinking doesn't equal reality.
The man is completely delusional, he actually thinks he can make things real with his will!
When he claims "only I can fix that", he actually believes it. Because he believes he is the only one with a mind strong enough to will it to happen.
This is a common phenomenon among for instance the very rich and highly positioned CEO's and wall street traders, although generally to a smaller degree, like thinking they can influence how dice fall.
It is also common within religion, like thinking praying actually works, which again turns to things like prosperity gospel, something Trump apparently also believes is true.
And finally it is also something that tend to happen to narcissists.
Trump is all these things, and has been delusional about having "powers" for decades, and his progressing dementia is making it worse.
It's the same mechanism that made Steve Jobs declined to have his cancer treated when it was discovered early enough to have a very high chance of success. He thought he could get rid of it himself somehow. When he finally realized he couldn't, it was too late.
Almost certainly not. This is to shift attention from Iran for gas prices increasing I suspect. He's going to say the reason prices have gone up is because Ukraine is bombing Russian refineries (it has technically had an effect), not because of his invasion of Iran. He's going to say he signed a deal with Russia, but prices aren't decreasing quickly because Ukraine broke the ceasefire that he made up.
Assuming I'm right, it's actually a smart move. It only needs to be made because of a bunch of really dumb moves, but this would be smart. Most people, let alone most Americans, don't have a firm grasp on any of this, so the truth doesn't really have much power.
Yeah, we call that lying, he does that a lot.
"Have you even told the truth once?"
Dude is so sick in the head. Not a single serious person in the world is giving Trump an ounce of their mind. He's a powerless buffoon.
hes scared because Zelensky targeted the yandex datacenters that were responsible for the troll farms, traffic from the bots has fall drastically as a result.
(Copied from my reply to a comment, but it should be a top level comment.)

further proof that Trump just says shit
Trumps lies aren’t worth reporting besides to say he’s lying again
By partial, I'm sure he just means Ukraine.
the world, both good and bad sides of it, already knows that every word from trumps mouth is a lie so it behooves us all to watch his actions and go by them rather than what he says
What does a partial cease fire even mean?
whose side is he on?
The side holding the kompromat
That putz just says whatever the fuck his geriatricly addled mush of a brain can think of regardless of reality checking his ass like a shopping list.
Seems like a setup to make Ukraine look like the "bad guys" here.
Everyone "talking" peace but NOTHING changed.
America better go in there and "teach" Ukraine a lesson.
Any fair and accurate reporting going on?
