Zelenskyy says Ukraine ready for energy ceasefire after Trump meeting

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said after meeting US President Donald Trump in New York that Ukraine is ready to halt attacks on Russian energy facilities if Moscow stops striking Ukraine's power and critical infrastructure. The two leaders held a 40-minute meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, where the "energy ceasefire" proposal was discussed. Zelenskyy warned that Ukrainian intelligence detected preparations for a major new Russian attack, while calling the meeting "positive and productive" on X. Trump had previously raised the issue of Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, noting their impact on diesel prices. A similar energy truce proposed last week failed to hold, and Zelenskyy rejected any immediate sanctions relief discussion while Ukrainian cities remain under attack.
