Zelensky and Trump to meet Tuesday at UN General Assembly in New York

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet US President Donald Trump on Tuesday, September 22, in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, confirmed a source familiar with the talks. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon amid renewed US diplomatic efforts to resolve Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which began in 2022. During a Sunday phone call, Trump mentioned the idea of suspending Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil facilities, though the source said he made no formal request. Zelensky has proposed strong de-escalation measures, urging that Ukraine's energy sector, critical infrastructure, and food exports no longer be targeted by Russia, warning Kyiv will continue strikes on Russian territory if Moscow rejects the proposals.
