Zelenskiy is set to meet Trump in New York as Ukraine pushes for de-escalation around energy infrastructure and renewed diplomacy with Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is set to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in New York during the UN gathering as Kyiv pushes for de-escalation around energy infrastructure. Ukraine's presidency confirmed the meeting and said the leaders had discussed possible de-escalation steps, energy security, food security and protection of human life. Reuters reported Zelenskiy is seeking a halt to mutual attacks on critical energy assets after renewed strikes on refineries, power facilities and ports. The meeting could clarify whether a limited infrastructure arrangement is politically viable.
