Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is due to meet U.S. President Donald Trump at the United Nations in New York on Tuesday, where Kyiv will push for an energy truce with Russia as world leaders gather for the General Assembly, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n
The diplomacy lands after overnight Russian missile and drone attacks hit industrial sites and critical energy infrastructure across several Ukrainian regions, killing at least three people and knocking out power to nearly 100,000 residents, Ukrainian officials told Al Jazeera and Reuters. Ukraine\u2019s air force said Moscow\u2019s barrage involved 212 drones, four cruise missiles, and other munitions. Ukrainian drones also hit Russia\u2019s Samara region overnight, killing one and injuring four according to the local governor.<\/p>\n
Zelenskyy wrote that a \u201cdrone deal\u201d was ready to strengthen air defense and funding, and that about 20 meetings were planned \u2014 including with Trump, European leaders, and U.S. lawmakers. After meeting Trump on Monday, French President Emmanuel Macron said the two countries agreed to work toward a moratorium on strikes targeting energy networks and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. Trump\u2019s Tuesday UN schedule includes Zelenskyy among at least 11 leader meetings after a morning General Assembly address, Reuters said.<\/p>\n
