Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv is ready to halt strikes on Russian energy facilities if Moscow stops attacking Ukraine's energy system, following talks with US President Donald Trump in New York. Zelenskyy met Trump for 40 minutes at the UN General Assembly, calling the talks "positive and productive." He stressed no discussion occurred of Ukraine unilaterally ending attacks on Russia's oil industry, while Trump expressed concern over Ukrainian strikes driving global diesel prices higher. Zelenskyy warned Russia is preparing a new massive attack and requested additional Patriot air defence missiles for winter, offering to swap future interceptor supplies from Germany. UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham also lobbied Trump for an energy ceasefire and promised further financial support.
