The Ukrainian delegation is leaving the United States.
Dmytro Lytvyn, President Volodymyr Zelensky's adviser on communications, denied reports about a trilateral meeting of Ukraine, the United States, and Russia to be held on Thursday, 24 September, in New York. This is reported by Interfax-Ukraine.
“The Ukrainian delegation is on its way to Ukraine,” he told journalists.
Earlier it was reported that during talks between President Volodymyr Zelensky and President Donald Trump, an agreement was reached to hold a trilateral meeting.
It was expected to include the president's office head Kyrylo Budanov, the head of the SBU Rustem Umierov, Trump's envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Bietkoff, as well as the Russian president's special envoy Kirill Dmitriev, who flew to the United States.
The sides were to focus on discussing a energy cease-fire, in particular mechanisms to ensure compliance. According to a ZN.UA source, the Russian side is interested in having questions of free navigation and the 'shadow' fleet exporting Russian oil discussed within the cease-fire.
Regarding possible ways to end the war, it is expected that the development of corresponding roadmaps may be influenced by a meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping.
Earlier Zelensky said that after the meeting with Trump, a meeting of Ukrainian and American negotiators took place. As a result, Bietkov and Kushner were to contact the Russians and partners to discuss possible formats.
Before meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky, Donald Trump expressed the belief that Vladimir Putin wants to end the war. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later said that the war is not in anyone's interest. In Rubio's view, the war in Ukraine will ultimately end with an agreement reached at negotiations, not a military victory for either side.
