️Zelenskyy says he spoke with Trump and they agreed to meet in New York

Zelenskiy said the talks could help revive negotiations as the White House pushes de-escalation steps and Ukraine seeks security guarantees.

  • On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he spoke with President Donald Trump and the two agreed to meet in New York this coming week during the UN General Assembly to discuss resolving the 4-1/2-year-old war with Russia.
  • The meeting follows recent visits to Kyiv by White House envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who have been working with Ukrainian officials to broker a de-escalation deal amid escalating hostilities between Russia and Ukraine.
  • A source familiar with the call said Trump repeatedly asked Zelensky to stop targeting Russian oil refineries because the strikes are driving up global diesel prices. "The word diesel came up many times during the call," the source said.
  • Rustem Umerov, head of Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service, reported significant progress in negotiations, stating stumbling blocks have "reduced from dozens to essentially one or two key issues." Umerov dismissed reports of government frustration with envoys as false.
  • Zelensky expressed readiness to take "really serious steps" toward de-escalation, writing on X that "there is diplomatic momentum." The U.S. maintains focus on securing a resolution to the conflict before winter sets in.
