Zelensky presses Trump on Patriot missiles, proposes energy ceasefire with Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he received no "concrete answer" from US President Donald Trump on supplying more Patriot missile interceptors, vital for defending against daily Russian aerial attacks, following their meeting at the UN General Assembly. Zelensky proposed an "energy ceasefire" with Russia, halting attacks on each other's energy infrastructure, and expressed readiness for a trilateral meeting with Trump and Vladimir Putin. He also cited intelligence indicating Russia is preparing a new massive attack on Ukraine. The EU is removing sanctions on Russian oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman, a move Ukraine condemned as "unacceptable." Separately, senior NATO commander Sir John Stringer warned Putin is becoming "increasingly cavalier, dangerous and risk accepting," potentially testing the alliance through provocative actions.
