Zelensky says Trump could organize trilateral summit with Putin

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said after meeting US President Donald Trump that Trump could organize a trilateral summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, reiterating his readiness for direct talks. Zelensky stated Trump wants to end the war and promised to do everything for it, suggesting a trilateral meeting where leaders could discuss sensitive issues. He dismissed Russian excuses for avoiding a leader-level meeting as nonsense, saying those wanting to end the war should sit down and talk. The leaders met September 22 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, discussing steps to end the war and Patriot missile production licenses. Zelensky also requested a winter support package, while Bloomberg reported Putin may skip December's G20 meeting in the US.
