Ukrainian President Zelensky said after holding separate talks with US and British leaders in New York that Kyiv is still preparing to reach a bilateral energy cease-fire with Russia. He issued an article on Tuesday warning that Russia is planning a new round of large-scale attacks on Ukraine. Zelensky met with US President Trump for 40 minutes while attending the UN General Assembly in New York. Zelensky said the talks focused on how to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which has entered its fifth year. He wrote on the X platform that the meeting was “positive and productive.” In an interview with reporters at the UN headquarters in New York, Zelensky said: If Moscow stops attacking Ukraine's energy system, Kiev is willing to stop attacking Russian energy facilities. However, he emphasized that there was no discussion with Trump about Ukraine's unilateral cessation of the crackdown on the Russian oil industry. “We are willing to achieve an energy cease-fire,” he said. “If Russia doesn't want us to attack its diesel facilities, refineries, etc., we can do it — provided that Russia does not attack our energy systems, electricity, heating and water supply facilities.” Zelensky proposed a plan: in exchange for America's inventory of Patriot missiles, Ukraine could transfer the share of interceptor bombs subsequently delivered by Germany to the US. Germany has promised to supply 600 Patriot missiles to Ukraine in 2027 and 2028. He told reporters that the US side did not directly reject the idea; it is already a “positive development,” but admits that Trump has not yet approved the proposal. He also said that negotiations to authorize the production of Patriot missiles are still ongoing in Ukraine.
