Zelenskyy backs 'energy ceasefire' with Russia as NATO warns Putin grows 'cavalier'

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday he is ready for an "energy ceasefire" with Russia, agreeing to halt attacks on energy targets if Moscow reciprocates, following talks with Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly in New York. Zelenskyy expressed openness to a trilateral meeting with Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, while urging Washington to pressure Moscow. He also claimed the war would end if China and India stopped buying Russian oil, and met UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who pledged further financial support. NATO's deputy commander warned Putin is becoming "increasingly cavalier" and may provoke the alliance into overreaction, though Baltic leaders downplayed direct military attack risks. Ukraine continues seeking Patriot interceptors from the US, facing shortages amid global supply constraints.
