Three ceasefire tracks under discussion with Russia — Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said three limited ceasefire tracks covering energy, grain, and maritime security are under discussion with Russia, telling reporters in New York that Kyiv is ready to halt strikes on Russian energy facilities. He said any truce could eventually extend to metallurgy and other goods, and that he has discussed a maritime truce with the US, Egypt, Turkey, the UAE and India.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said both sides have expressed interest in a limited ceasefire on grain and energy. Zelenskyy insisted any halt on energy strikes must be mutual, after Trump pressed him to stop hitting Russian oil refineries over concerns about global diesel prices.

A coalition of 51 UN member states noted Ukraine has been open to a full, unconditional ceasefire since March 2025, and called on Russia to match that stance.
