Zelensky Says Ukraine 'Ready' for Energy Ceasefire After Trump Meeting at UN

September 22, 2026 — Volodymyr Zelensky met Donald Trump in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly's high-level debate. Zelensky told reporters afterward that Ukraine is 'ready for any kind of format of energy ceasefire' — a mutual halt to strikes on oil, gas and diesel infrastructure — provided Russia commits to the same truce. The leaders also discussed winter support for Ukraine, licensing for Patriot air-defense production, and a possible trilateral meeting with Vladimir Putin, floated for the G20 summit in Miami. Trump called the US-Ukraine relationship 'very strong.' No date or venue for trilateral talks was confirmed, and Russia has not responded publicly to the energy-ceasefire proposal.
