Zelensky made the request after meeting Trump in New York on September 22, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. He noted that Xi is scheduled to visit the US on September 23 for talks with Trump covering bilateral relations and global peace, and expressed hope for a trilateral Ukraine-US-Russia meeting brokered by Trump. Trump stated at the General Assembly that the war's end would come "faster than people realize," while Zelensky earlier voiced hope for concluding the conflict before winter. Energy ceasefire was among the key topics discussed during their meeting.
