\n\u2022 After a brief public session, the talks continued behind closed doors.<\/div>\n

Zelenskyy: I hope to end the war before winter<\/h2>\n

The meeting between the presidents took place on 22 September during their visit Zelensky<\/strong> in New York to take part in the UN General Assembly.<\/p>\n

Before the closed-door talks began, the leaders spoke to journalists for a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy said he is hoping for a diplomatic solution within the coming months.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00abI hope we can bring this war to an end before winter, and that Trump will help us do so,\u00bb said the President of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Kyiv and Washington agreed on this meeting during a telephone conversation on 20 September. At the time, Zelenskyy said that the parties had discussed possible de-escalation measures<\/a>, energy and food security, and the protection of people.<\/p>\n

In the run-up to the talks, Zelenskyy also discussed with US senators the tightening of sanctions against Russia and Ukraine\u2019s need for ballistic missile interception capabilities. The President emphasised that the systems Patriot<\/a> remain of critical importance to Ukraine\u2019s air defence at present.<\/p>\n

Trump has spoken of strikes against Russian oil refineries<\/h2>\n

Ukrainian long-range strikes on Russian oil refineries have become a separate issue.<\/p>\n

Trump said:<\/p>\n

\n

\u00abThe strikes against Russia have affected diesel prices \u2014 this is a serious problem for the Russian Federation. We will be discussing this.\u00bb.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Topic. diesel fuel<\/a> This issue had already been raised during discussions between the presidents. The day before, Axios reported, citing a source, that Trump had asked Zelenskyy during a telephone conversation to halt attacks on Russian oil refineries, linking them to shortages and rising global diesel prices.<\/p>\n

The global diesel fuel market is indeed experiencing an acute shortage. Reuters has reported record prices and historically low stocks in a number of regions. At the same time, analysts cite not only the reduction in Russian refining following Ukrainian strikes, but also disruptions in the Middle East and other problems in global supply chains as contributing factors.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the claim that Ukrainian strikes have made a specific contribution to the global rise in diesel prices remains Trump\u2019s assessment against the backdrop of a wider global fuel crisis.<\/p>\n

Trump on Ukraine\u2019s territories: \u00abI think they\u2019ll reach an agreement\u00bb<\/h2>\n

During his press conference, Trump was also asked about the prospects of Ukraine regaining its occupied territories. A journalist reminded the US President of his previous statement regarding the possibility of Ukraine regaining all its territory.<\/p>\n

\n

Reporter:<\/strong> \u00abLast year, you said that Ukraine could regain all its territory. Is that possible now?\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Trump did not give a direct answer regarding the borders under the future settlement.<\/p>\n

\n

Trump:<\/strong> \u00abI think they will reach an agreement. I do not wish to disclose the details of this agreement.\u00bb.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The territorial issue<\/a> remains one of the most difficult issues in the potential negotiations. Zelenskyy has previously emphasised that such decisions can only be discussed at the leadership level, and that any future agreement must include robust security guarantees for Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Trump did not disclose any details of a possible compromise during the public part of the current meeting.<\/p>\n

Trump praised the Ukrainian military and leadership<\/h2>\n

The US President spoke positively, in particular, about Ukraine\u2019s ability to wage war.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00abThere\u2019s no doubt that Ukrainians are very good fighters. They can be proud of themselves \u2014 they are very, very capable people, with very capable leadership,\u00bb said Trump.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The key topics of the talks were to include possible de-escalation measures, the protection of Ukraine\u2019s energy infrastructure and Ukraine\u2019s need for additional Patriot systems.<\/p>\n

On the same day, Zelenskyy held talks with the President of France Emmanuel Macron<\/strong> a winter aid package and the opportunity to bolster Ukraine\u2019s air defence capabilities with additional SAMP\/T systems and missiles.<\/p>\n

The talks continued away from the cameras<\/h2>\n

The public part of the meeting between Zelenskyy and Trump lasted about seven minutes. After brief statements and answers to questions from journalists, the presidents continued their conversation behind closed doors, without cameras<\/strong>. The full results of this stage of the talks are expected following official announcements from the Ukrainian and American sides.<\/p>\n

The meeting is taking place against the backdrop of a new attempt by Washington to revitalise the negotiation process. In early September, Trump\u2019s representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner held talks in Moscow and Kyiv. Zelenskyy subsequently stated that the resumption of talks is important, but that any future agreement must provide not only for an end to the war, but also for long-term security guarantees and Ukraine\u2019s economic recovery.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
