Ukrainian president earlier rejected US call for Kyiv to stop bombing oil refineries, saying Moscow must first end attacks on energy infrastructure
Donald Trump has announced an energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, apparently without consulting Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who said the deal to stop long-range attacks was “news to me”.
In a social media post, the US president claimed the two sides had reached an agreement. “Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!” he wrote on Truth Social.
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.
Oh for fuck sake can someone just choke him with his diaper already
He really did negotiate something with one party being completely uninvolved, didn’t he?
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.
Shitty Imbecility.
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.
Trump’s in a pickle because he is helping Putin keep the oil price high while also promising low gas prices to Americans. So Trump has to constantly flap his jaw about deals without actually delivering anything.
That’s not negotiation, it’s talking shit.
Reminds me of that plot of land in Caanan
I doubt he talked with either
Probably talked to grok and it hallucinated this ceasefire
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.
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?
Ukraine would win.
Considering that Putin thought he could just steamroll over Ukraine and 4 years later, Ukraine is still going, that doesn’t surprise me
Maybe, but I bet it’s more that he’s shitting himself over high fuel prices, caused by his illegal war with Iran, and has deluded himself in believing he can market manipulate his way out of Republicans getting destroyed in the midterms.
But unlike the stock market, oil supplies and wars don’t magically respond anytime the moron in chief word vomits on the internet.
Trumps lies aren’t worth reporting besides to say he’s lying again
Fuck you trump. You don’t announce shit.
pedo announce what
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.
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.
The only downside would be if it’s real and Putin actually follows it.
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.
Russia is a lot colder than Ukraine.
It also makes it clear that Zelenskyy isn’t being suckered by Trump.
Zelensky is in a desperate position :(
not really? He knows Putin won’t follow it. He knows he can say “sure thing” knowing Putin wont’ follow it to appease trumps bullying sense of power and finally, he has the upper hand with deep strikes on energy infra in Russia right now which he isn’t going to have to stop because Putin won’t. So really this is just useless posturing by Trump and he knows it.
Ukrane can stockpile long range weapons for future strikes. They can also pivot and target other logistics
Nah, he’s just calling trump’s bluff. He knows Russia will never honor it.
I hope so, I trust the guy, smarter than me :)
He’s definitely smarter than Trump.
To be fair: That might be the lowest possible bar to pass on this planet…
So’s my dog, and she’s been dead for over a year.
It won’t matter, Putin won’t accept it anyways. This has happened many times before. Zelenskyy knows how to deal with Trump.
He thinks he’s rich and can just “grab 'em”. He sees “dear leader” in the mirror. He’s just a kindergarten teacher receiving every gold star, bragging about acing the tests he writes and grades himself.
Plot twist, Zelensky agreed it to Trump privately, but refuses to admit it publicly, knowing nobody will believe Trump
Now he’s just fucking with Trump? That would be hilarious
further proof that Trump just says shit
This is so that he can say Ukraine broke the ceasefire when Russia doesn’t observe the fake ceasefire and Ukraine keeps hitting Russian energy targets.
Trump is a Russian asset.
Dumbass just spouts on nonsense expecting everyone to go along with it!
Yeah, we call that lying, he does that a lot.
“Have you even told the truth once?”
Just rapist doing rapist things. His next statement will be that Ukraine doesn’t want peace.
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.
According to who?
To whom*
No, the “according” person is not the receiver.
The preposition “to” makes its target a direct object. So it’s “whom” unless you are of the view that “whom” is obsolete.
Please continue to bomb russian oil and seize/sink their tankers. I’ll gladly pay increased fuel prices on my end.
Genuinely hoping the diesel exports from Russia, if they are even real, are targeted. I don’t want 300,000 gallons or whatever of diesel spilled from an environment perspective, but man would I be in favor of the pain pushing people to vote appropriately.

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.
