Zelenskyy leaves New York with warm Trump tone but few concrete gains
With the help of experts, NV examined the pros and cons of Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s trip to see Donald Trump ahead of a White House visit by Xi Jinping, a key international partner of Vladimir Putin.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited New York to meet with US President Donald Trump ahead of a potential White House visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping. While the meeting lasted for a total of 47 minutes, experts argue that it did not yield any significant progress for Ukraine. Oleksandr Merezhko, a lawmaker in Zelenskyy's party, stated that the meeting served more as a protocol session than a productive discussion.
Despite the grim situation in Ukraine with ongoing drone attacks, Zelenskyy and Trump reiterated their commitment to peace and discussed a trilateral meeting between the three leaders and a potential energy ceasefire. However, doubts remain about the effectiveness of such a meeting in changing Russia's stance. Ukrainian officials believe Putin prefers one-on-one meetings, and any progress would likely require changing the battlefield situation.
