zeenews.india.com

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet US President Donald Trump in New York this week on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, following a phone call between the two leaders. The meeting aims to broker de-escalation and restart peace negotiations amid intensified Russia-Ukraine hostilities. The meeting is expected Tuesday, arranged by Ukrainian negotiator Rustem Umerov with White House envoys. It follows Trump signing a Russia sanctions bill and approving the largest US arms deal with Ukraine since taking office. Trump reportedly urged Zelensky to halt attacks on Russian oil refineries, which have raised global diesel prices. Ukraine has launched missile attacks on Moscow and oil refineries, while Russia has conducted near-daily strikes on Kyiv. Russia has indicated openness to de-escalation measures before winter and resuming trilateral talks, though little progress has been made toward an agreement.
