Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with US President Donald Trump in New York to discuss the ongoing conflict with Russia and Vladimir Putin. Zelenskyy is concerned that a peace deal brokered by Trump could lead to Ukraine losing territory. Trump has expressed a desire to end the conflict but has not committed to supporting Ukraine as the victor. Zelenskyy is working to secure US support before the November election, fearing that a change in leadership could weaken support for Ukraine. Both candidates have met with Zelenskyy, with Biden highlighting his ability to rally Western allies against Russia. Zelenskyy has also met with other world leaders at the UN General Assembly to seek continued support. Despite Trump’s claims that he could end the conflict quickly, there are concerns that any deal he negotiates could require Ukraine to give up territory. Zelenskyy has criticized Trump’s oversimplified view of the conflict and rejected the idea of sacrificing territory. With the US election approaching, Zelenskyy is hopeful for strong US support to continue after November.
