Ukrainian President Zelensky has publicly appealed to former US President Trump to broker an end to the war with Russia before winter, signaling frustration with stalled peace efforts. This appeal follows a 40-minute meeting between Trump and Zelensky on the UNGA sidelines, where negotiations, military aid, and a possible energy truce were discussed. No concrete agreements were announced, leaving key questions on aid and negotiation terms unresolved.

Why it matters: Zelensky's direct appeal to Trump indicates a potential shift in Ukraine's diplomatic strategy and could influence future US involvement in peace efforts.
