Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced plans to meet with US President Donald Trump in New York in late September.

The announcement on Thursday followed visits to Moscow and Kyiv by US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, part of an effort by Washington to initiate a process aimed at achieving a ceasefire.

Zelenskyy was in Canada when he commented on the plans for a new meeting with Trump during a press conference.
