Zelenskyy announces Trump meeting in New York this week

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a meeting with US President Donald Trump this week in New York, stating the talks "could change a lot" following a phone call between the two leaders. Zelenskyy confirmed the agreement on the social media platform X, citing "diplomatic momentum" but did not specify a date. The meeting coincides with the UN General Assembly debate starting Tuesday, where both leaders are expected to speak. The US has sought to end Russia's war against Ukraine for over four and a half years, with previous negotiations failing. Envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff recently visited Moscow and Kyiv, with Zelenskyy expressing readiness for "decisive steps" on energy, food security, and civilian protection.
