Zelensky posted on X that he and Trump had agreed to meet in New York, though he did not set a date. He said the meeting could change a lot, citing diplomatic momentum. The announcement came after a brief call on the platform.
The post outlined broad themes for discussion, including energy security, food security and the protection of human life. Zelensky said Ukraine is ready to take serious steps, but he did not spell out specific proposals.
He thanked Trump for signing the Lindsey Graham bill, though the article did not detail the legislation. Zelensky also praised Trump for a Kyiv visit by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner that provided a firsthand view of the conflict.
No commitments from Russia were mentioned. The peace track remains Ukraine's top priority, according to the president.
The U.S. State Department is expected to announce the meeting date in the coming days, after which officials will outline the next steps toward a peace agreement.
