Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Zelenskyy criticises US fuel agreement with Moscow and accuses Russia of violating Trump’s proposed energy ceasefire as attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure continue.

The meeting takes place as ​Britain looks to reaffirm its support for Ukraine, ‌including with the promise of a new package of surface-to-air missiles.

Kyiv said that Russian strikes continued even after Donald Trump announced an energy truce on October 11.

The US president said that both sides have agreed to an immediate halt in attacks on energy infrastructure, while Zelenskyy said that he will hold elections if Russia agrees to a 60-day ceasefire.

“This is the kind of ‘gift’ Putin gave himself for his birthday,” Zelenskyy said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said 11 crew members were rescued, including one who was injured.

The package includes military and energy assistance as Russia steps up attacks across Ukraine and Kyiv seeks stronger air-defence capabilities ahead of winter.

Both sides said they targeted military and strategic infrastructure, while Ukraine also reported casualties and damage from Russian aerial attacks.

Russian drones and missiles hit targets across Ukraine, including Kyiv, while Ukrainian strikes also target Russian industrial sites and oil infrastructure.

The two leaders, who met on the sidelines of the 81st UNGA, appeared hopeful about a deal to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

Fresh Russian strikes killed four in Ukraine, while Kyiv hit a Russian oil refinery as Zelenskyy pushes for an energy truce with Moscow during talks with Trump.

Ukraine’s president arrived in New York for the UN General Assembly and is expected to meet US President Donald Trump.

The US president and Ukrainian leader are expected to discuss de-escalation measures, energy security and efforts to revive negotiations during the UN General Assembly.
