Zelensky says Ukraine ready for energy truce with Russia
–
Neutral summary
Volodymyr Zelensky met Donald Trump on Tuesday, September 22, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. After the meeting, Zelensky told journalists that Ukraine is ready for an “energy ceasefire” with Russia, provided Moscow stops attacks on Ukrainian critical infrastructure. He stressed that both Kyiv and Washington want the war to end before winter, noting that Ukrainians are living in increasingly difficult conditions. Zelensky also proposed a trilateral meeting involving Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Radio Slobodna Evropa reported that Trump mentioned the possibility of meeting Putin at the G20 summit in December. The Independent reported that Zelensky said Trump gave no “concrete answer” on a key weapons export issue. France 24 reported that Trump claimed Ukraine and Russia had agreed not to strike each other's energy infrastructure, despite his earlier criticism of Kyiv for hitting Russian oil refineries. Analysts cited by France 24 suggested the Black Sea could be another area for a temporary ceasefire, as attacks there have disrupted grain shipments. Trump also addressed the UN General Assembly, where, according to The Hill and Morning Star, he said he was still considering whether to “annihilate” Iran and mentioned a three-hour meeting between US envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and Iranian officials.
