Calling it now: Putin and Trump had a falling out, Trump wants Zelenskyy to attack Moscow hoping that it either 1) kills Putin or 2) puts the pressure on Putin to capitulate (to Trump) somehow.

This is nothing to do with ceasefire talks or Ukraine at all. This is between Trump and Putin.

I dunno, he just needs a win and ending the invasion in Ukraine would be a big one.

Though yes it could also be something super bad like he's asking for Putin so then Putin can claim there was a super crazy attack in Moscow which gives him reason to up the ante munitions wise into something a bit longer lasting and much more spicy.
