Did Zelenskyy call for a trilateral meeting with Putin and Trump?

Yes. After meeting U.S. President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York on September 22, 2026, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Trump should organize a trilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin so the leaders can raise sensitive issues and try to end the war “as quickly as possible.”

Asked whether he would sit down with Putin and Trump, Zelenskyy said he is ready anytime the sides decide. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on September 23 that a Putin–Zelenskyy meeting without prior expert-level work would be a waste of time and repeated Russia’s position that Zelenskyy could come to Moscow.
