He's not going to stop until he has real security guarantees, and, with the track record of Ukraine/NATO, that means Russia will guarantee their security without regard for the words coming from the West, including anything Trump says.
If I'm Putin, I don't stop until I KNOW that I can crush any violations of any ceasefire/treaty. There can be no trust, not even with Trump, because his term only lasts 4 years.
Cutting off military aid to Ukraine is a real concession that brings Russia much closer to its goal, more quickly. But I don't see Russia stopping until it has the most defensible front possible. That might be the Dnepr. It might be key high points in a pretty low-rolling landscape, without obvious geographical barriers other than the Dnepr and some (relatively) high points, so any attackers will have to attack uphill.
