Trump and Zelensky discuss possible energy truce and Ukraine's air defense at UN
US and Ukrainian presidents met in New York during the UN General Assembly to discuss ending Russia's war, including a possible energy truce and Ukraine's need for air defense.
US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met in New York during the United Nations General Assembly, where they discussed possibilities for ending the war started by Russia.
Key discussion points
The two leaders discussed a possible truce on energy infrastructure strikes, as well as Ukraine's need for additional air defense capabilities. Particular attention was given to US-made Patriot air defense systems, which are among the most critical elements of Ukraine's defense against Russian missile and drone attacks.
Domestic ammunition production
The talks also touched on the possibility of producing Patriot system ammunition directly in Ukraine in the future. Such production would, however, require a US license, since the technology involved is American-developed and manufactured military equipment.
The meeting took place within the broader context of the UN General Assembly session, where world leaders gather for annual discussions on international issues, including Russia's war in Ukraine.
