Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the US is exploring steps for Ukraine and Russia to de-escalate the war during winter while restarting peace negotiations, as Russia resumed strikes on Kiev. Zelenskyy told Axios that Putin may avoid antagonizing President Trump ahead of US midterms, creating a diplomatic opening. He met Trump's envoys in Kiev after their Moscow talks, noting Russia's battlefield actions contradict its stated readiness to negotiate. New US proposals include measures on energy, grain, and oil facilities, plus a winter assistance package for Ukraine. Zelenskyy aims to use September and October for diplomacy, with the UN General Assembly as a potential venue.
