Zelenskyy said Kyiv is ready for an energy truce as Russia and Ukraine keep trading strikes on power facilities, with 20% lower Russian gasoline output, the IEA said.
- On Tuesday, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy met U.S. President Donald Trump at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City to discuss an energy ceasefire and ending the war with Russia.

- During his UNGA speech, Trump claimed both sides "have had it" and vowed quick resolution, citing the loss of 25,000 soldiers per month as justification for ending the conflict.
- The International Energy Agency reports Russia's diesel production has fallen by nearly 30 per cent, while both nations continue exchanging missile and drone strikes against critical power grids, complicating peace efforts.
