President Volodymyr Zelensky 22 met with U.S. President Donald Trump in New York in September during the United Nations General Assembly. Trump outlined two possible endings to the war, one of which could have very bad consequences and the other — to advance the development of countries.
This was reported by Dilo, citing the broadcast of "Suspline. News".
The open portion of the conversation in the presence of the press lasted seven minutes, after which talks continued behind closed doors. Both leaders arrived for the meeting as part of official delegations.
On the American side were present Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Minister of Finance Scott Besse nt, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, special envoys to the president Steve Whittkow and Jared Kushner.
The Ukrainian delegation was represented by Head of the Office of the President Kyrylo Budanov, Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal, Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Andriy Sybiha, Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service Rustem Umerov, and head of the Servant of the People faction David Arakhamia.
Zelensky called to end the war by winter.
"I hope that we will be able to put an end to this war. President Trump will help us with this, and I think it should be done as quickly as possible — before winter," Zelensky said at the start of the meeting.
According to Trump, there is also an interest for Russia to end the war. He stated that there are two endings possible: "One very bad, the other one that could lift the countries to greatness."
Statements about a deal and prospects for peace
During a press briefing, journalists asked Donald Trump whether he still subscribes to last year's statement that Ukraine could regain all its territories.
"I think they will reach an agreement. I don't want to say what exact agreement it is," Trump replied.
In turn, Volodymyr Zelensky thanked his American counterpart for support and emphasized the importance of resolving the conflict as soon as possible.
Discussion of strikes on Russian oil refineries
The U.S. President commented on Ukrainian strikes on Russian infrastructure facilities, noting that they affected diesel prices and posed a serious test for the Russian Federation. According to Trump, attacks on Russia "hit very hard," and this issue was to be discussed in detail during closed negotiations.
The U.S. President also added that Ukrainians can be proud of their country, calling them "brave fighters."
"Ukrainians are very good fighters. They have a lot to be proud of. Very capable people, very strong leadership," he said.
As a reminder, 19 in September the U.S. President Donald Trump signed the law of the late Senator Lindsey Graham on "hellish sanctions" against
Russia.
