Ukraine and US push to end war with Russia before winter

Ukraine and the United States are pushing to end the war with Russia before winter, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposing a ceasefire on energy infrastructure during the UN General Assembly. Zelenskyy said Ukraine is ready for any format of energy ceasefire if Russia agrees not to attack its energy system, but he does not know Moscow's position. He expressed hope the American side will find a way to bring Russia to negotiations, as US-brokered peace efforts have stalled amid Washington's focus on its war with Iran. Russia and Ukraine have intensified long-range strikes on civilian sites, including energy and port infrastructure, while President Donald Trump claimed last week both sides agreed not to target energy facilities. Zelenskyy called his Tuesday meeting with Trump "positive and productive," noting both nations want the war ended before winter.
