Zelensky Proposes UN Assembly as Venue for New Peace Talks With US

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has proposed the UN General Assembly in New York as a venue for a new round of peace talks involving the US, aiming to revive the diplomatic process before winter. Kyiv plans to intensify diplomatic efforts in September and October, with Zelensky stating that without dialogue, no results can be achieved. He did not rule out trilateral talks with the US and Russia, though no final decision has been made. Zelensky expressed hope that President Donald Trump could help launch real negotiations before the cold season. This follows visits to Moscow and Kyiv by US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who reported "significant progress" on scheduling further trilateral talks.
