U.S. President Donald Trump plans to press Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to agree to an energy truce with Russia during their UN meeting, citing Russia's loss of control over its diesel industry due to the Ukraine war. Diesel prices in the U.S. have surged above $6.50 per gallon, driven by disruptions from the Ukraine conflict and tensions in Iran. Zelenskyy says Kyiv is discussing de-escalation steps with Washington but insists Russia must stop targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The leaders are also expected to discuss further air defense support and ways to end the ongoing conflict as winter approaches.
