Trump meets Zelenskyy in NYC amid concerns about US support for Ukraine

Kyiv worries a peace deal brokered by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump would lead to loss of territory.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has met Donald Trump to try and shore up US support against Russia and Vladimir Putin.
The meeting in New York on Friday came amid anxiety that if Trump wins the presidency in November, his administration’s support would likely be less stalwart than that of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Indeed, while Trump has said he thinks it is in the US’s interest for the conflict to end, he has declined to say if he believes it is to Washington’s benefit that Ukraine emerge the victor.
“I think we have a common view that the war in Ukraine has to be stopped and Putin can’t win,” Zelenskyy said.
“It’s very important to share, to share all the plan, all our steps, how we can strengthen Ukraine.”
