Kyiv and Washington want war in Ukraine to end 'before winter,' Zelenskyy says

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced that Kyiv and Washington want to see the war in Ukraine end "before winter" following what he described as a "positive" meeting with his US counterpart Donald Trump. Zelenskyy and Trump met on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, where the Ukrainian leader said they had discussed potentially "de-escalatory steps that can open up the way to diplomacy." "I just had a positive and productive meeting with President Trump," he wrote in a post on social media. "Both the U.S. and Ukraine want to see this senseless Russian war ended before winter".
