Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged India, China, and Turkey to halt energy trade with Russia, stating this revenue is crucial to Moscow's war effort and that stopping it could force an end to the conflict. Speaking at the UN General Assembly, Zelenskyy said Russia's economy is based on these buyers. India's Russian oil imports fell 16.5% in August to 2.1 million barrels daily, with further declines expected in September. Zelenskyy's remarks follow US President Donald Trump signing a law authorizing tariffs up to 100% on countries purchasing Russian energy. Zelenskyy also proposed an "energy ceasefire" and a trilateral meeting with Putin involving Trump.
