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.

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.
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.
Edit: FWIW, Putin bombed Ukraine’s energy infrastructure within 24 hours of Trumps little “deal.”
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 would help Ukraine if it were real. And it would damage Ukraine to refuse outright. So a conditional acceptance is the least bad choice. But I’m sure Zelenskyy knew that Putin would keep bombing, since that’s what he’s going to do until his owners decide he’s no longer useful.
He really did negotiate something with one party being completely uninvolved, didn’t he?
I doubt he talked with either
Probably talked to grok and it hallucinated this ceasefire
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.
That’s not negotiation, it’s talking shit.
It’s an art.
Yeah, we call that lying, he does that a lot.
“Have you even told the truth once?”
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.
Trying times for a putin’s useful idiot, eh? Be tough and keep on kneeling, good serf
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.
further proof that Trump just says shit
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.
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.
It was another Trump lie. Russia just kept bombing.
By partial, I’m sure he just means Ukraine.
He didn’t say partial, the guardian did.
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?
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.

Ooh you silver tongued wordsmiths amaze me sometimes. Thanks for being you.
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
Fuck you trump. You don’t announce shit.
pedo announce what
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
Dumbass just spouts on nonsense expecting everyone to go along with it!
