Zelensky says agreed with Trump to meet in New York
The planned meeting comes as Washington pushes for fresh, face-to-face peace talks between Moscow and Kyiv.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed that he has agreed to meet with US President Donald Trump in New York. The planned meeting follows a phone call between the two leaders. The meeting comes as the United States attempts to resume face-to-face peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, following a four-and-a-half year conflict.
However, recent months have seen a stall in efforts to end the war, as the US has redirected its focus towards its conflict with Iran. Both Russia and Ukraine have ramped up long-range strikes against each other. Zelensky expressed optimism, stating that the meeting could significantly impact the diplomatic situation, citing "diplomatic momentum." As of now, there is no official response from Trump regarding Zelensky's announcement.
