Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he discussed efforts to end the war and a possible energy ceasefire with U.S. President Donald Trump during their meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. The discussion focused on whether attacks on energy infrastructure could be halted as part of a de-escalation effort. Zelenskyy said Ukraine was ready for a reciprocal arrangement. No Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire was announced after the meeting. The talks came as both sides continued long-range attacks and Ukraine sought additional air-defence support. Energy infrastructure has become a central issue as strikes affect electricity generation, fuel facilities and other critical systems. A reciprocal halt would require participation from both Moscow and Kyiv. The meeting formed part of wider diplomatic activity around the UN General Assembly, where the war remains a major international security issue.
