On September 22, 2026, a meeting will take place in Washington between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The main topic of discussion will be the possibility of establishing an energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia.
Initiative for Energy Ceasefire
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that it would be a "great idea" to implement a ceasefire concerning the energy infrastructure of both countries. According to him, Washington seeks to have Kyiv and Moscow refrain from mutual strikes on energy facilities, which is particularly relevant amid the ongoing conflict.
U.S. Concerns Over Attacks
The U.S. expresses concern regarding attacks on vessels related to energy due to the Ukrainian conflict. Rubio emphasized that this issue needs to be urgently addressed, as it could have serious implications for the energy security of the region.
Previous Trump-Zelensky Meeting
The meeting between Trump and Zelensky is scheduled for this evening, and it will be their second meeting in recent months. The first meeting took place on July 28, 2026, during which various aspects of cooperation between the U.S. and Ukraine were discussed, including security and economic issues.
