US President Donald Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. Responding to a journalist's question about whether Ukraine could regain all its territories, Trump stated, "I think they will reach an agreement. I don't want to say what that agreement will be." He also praised the Ukrainian military and leadership as "very, very capable people."

Trump acknowledged that Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil facilities and diesel production had caused significant damage to Russia, but also noted the associated rise in diesel prices. He previously stated a year ago at the UN General Assembly that Ukraine could reclaim all its territories.
