Trump, Zelenskyy meet at UN as Ukraine presses for US help against Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met President Donald Trump on Tuesday at the United Nations headquarters in New York as he seeks additional US help in defending his country from Russia's onslaught of missiles, drones and bombs. The two presidents, who have had strained ties in previous sitdowns, greeted each other warmly on the sidelines of the annual UN General Assembly gathering of world leaders. We have great respect for the fight that Ukraine is putting up, Trump told Zelenskyy, who replied that he had good news from the battlefield. We will speak of how to finish the war and security guarantees, Zelenskyy said, thanking the US leader for the meeting and for his personal efforts to stop this war. As the fighting rages on, Trump said the biggest progress toward ending the conflict is that the Russian economy is terrible right now. Zelenskyy said Ukraine agreed with Trump's call for European nations to further halt imports of Russian oil and natural gas. Trump says the w

Ukraine can win back all territory lost to Russia with Nato's help: Trump

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Ukraine can win back all territory lost to Russia, a dramatic shift from the US leader's call on Kyiv to make concessions to end the war. Trump offered his position in a social media posting soon after meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly gathering of world leaders. Trump in part wrote, I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form. With time, patience, and the financial support of Europe and, in particular, NATO, the original Borders from where this War started, is very much an option. The strengthened support from Trump, if it sticks, is a huge win for Zelenskyy, who has urged the American president to keep up the pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to end his brutal war. However, the post did not include language about new US sanctions or tariffs targeting Russia's energy ..

Explaining Nato's Article 4 as Estonia seeks talks on Russian violation

NATO allies on Tuesday will hold formal consultations at Estonia's request after the Baltic country said that three Russian fighter jets entered its airspace last week without authorisation. Russia's Defence Ministry denied the accusation. The intrusion on Friday lasted 12 minutes and was a fresh test of the military alliance's ability to respond to Moscow's airborne threats after around 20 Russian drones entered Polish airspace on September 10. NATO's 32 ambassadors meet most weeks in a format known as the North Atlantic Council at the military alliance's headquarters in Brussels. Estonia has requested consultations under Article 4 of NATO's founding treaty. Poland also requested Article 4 talks after the drone incident, and two days later, NATO launched an operation, dubbed Eastern Sentry, to bolster the organization's military presence with European aircraft and other defences along its eastern flank. However, Article 4 talks do not mean automatic military or diplomatic ...

Ukraine braces for tough autumn as Russia steps up drive to seize Donetsk

Fall is expected to bring another gruelling test for Ukraine's armed forces as Russia intensifies its campaign to seize an eastern region, once Ukraine's industrial heartland and a territory it has long sought to conquer. Russia now controls about 70 per cent of the Donetsk region. Ukraine's forces have been pushed back to a string of four cities that analysts have dubbed its fortress belt, where they've repelled Moscow's efforts to seize the region for years. But shortages of troops, supplies and chaotic management are making it increasingly hard to resist Russia's relentless pressure in the region. As the more-than-3-year-old invasion continues despite months of US-led peace efforts, analysts and the military say the country could struggle to resist an intensified push to seize the last cities in the region under Ukrainian control. Moscow is taking the territory piecemeal Analysts and Ukrainian officers say that Russia is unlikely to engage in protracted urban battles and avoid

Trump to highlight foreign policy record in speech at UN general Assembly

Watched by the world, President Donald Trump returns to the United Nations on Tuesday to deliver a wide-ranging address on his second-term foreign policy achievements and lament that globalist institutions have significantly decayed the world order, according to the White House. World leaders will be listening closely to his remarks at the UN General Assembly as Trump has already moved quickly to diminish US support for the world body in his first eight months in office. Even in his first term, he was no fan of the flavour of multilateralism that the United Nations espouses. After his latest inauguration, he issued a first-day executive order withdrawing the US from the World Health Organisation. That was followed by his move to end US participation in the UN Human Rights Council, and ordering up a review of US membership in hundreds of intergovernmental organisations aimed at determining whether they align with the priorities of his America First agenda. There are great hopes for i

Copenhagen Airport reopens after drone sightings, some delays expected

Flights at Copenhagen Airport resumed early Tuesday after being suspended or diverted overnight because of drone sightings. Police reported two to three large, unidentified drones were seen Monday night, forcing outgoing flights at Scandinavia's largest airport to be grounded and others diverted to airports nearby. Copenhagen Airport has reopened after being closed due to drone activity. However, there will be delays and some cancelled departures. Passengers are advised to check with their airline for further information, its official website said. Local media show a significant police presence in the vicinity of the airport. A drone incident the same evening at the Oslo, Norway, airport forced all traffic to move to one runway, according to Norwegian broadcaster NRK. Traffic later returned to normal and it's unclear who was responsible. Security concerns in northern Europe are heightened following an increase in Russian sabotage activities and multiple drones and fighter jet ...

World leaders convene at UNGA amid global crises and mounting challenges

World leaders begin convening Monday at one of the most volatile moments in the United Nations' 80-year history, and the challenges they face are as dire as ever if not more so: unyielding wars in Gaza and Ukraine, escalating changes in the US approach to the world, hungry people everywhere and technologies that are advancing faster than the understanding of how to manage them. The United Nations itself, which emerged from World War II's rubble on the premise that nations would work together to tackle political, social and financial issues, is in crisis itself. As Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said last week: "International cooperation is straining under pressures unseen in our lifetimes. Yet the annual high-level gathering at the UN General Assembly will bring presidents, prime ministers and monarchs from about 150 of the 193 UN member nations to UN headquarters. The secretary-general says it is an opportunity that can't be missed even in the most challenging of moments. We

Russia, Ukraine trade drone strikes as Zelenskyy gears up for UN talks

Russia and Ukraine swapped accusations of deadly drone strikes on civilian areas of their countries Monday as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy anticipated a very intense week of diplomacy at the UN General Assembly in New York, where the Security Council was expected to discuss the more than three-year war. Zelenskyy has tried to give momentum to a US-led peace effort, offering a ceasefire and a summit meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Moscow has taken issue with some of the proposals, however, and an end to the bloodshed appears no closer. Additionally, international concerns have mounted recently that the fighting could spread beyond Ukraine's borders as European countries rebuked Russia for what they said were provocations. The incidents have included Russian drones landing on Polish soil and Russian fighter aircraft entering Estonian airspace. Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics said on social media that Russia was testing NATO's political and military respons

Trump's muted Russia response fuels fears of deeper US disengagement

After months of proposing both ideas to solve or intermediate some of the world's most intractable conflicts, Trump has largely withdrawn from diplomacy in recent weeks

3 killed, dozens injured as Russia launches large-scale attack on Ukraine

Russia launched a large-scale missile and drone attack targeting regions across Ukraine early on Saturday, killing at least three people and wounding dozens more, Ukrainian officials said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said attacks took place across nine regions, including Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Kyiv, Odesa, Sumy and Kharkiv. The enemy's target was our infrastructure, residential areas and civilian enterprises, he said, adding that a missile equipped with cluster munitions struck a multi-story building in the city of Dnipro. Each such strike is not a military necessity but a deliberate strategy by Russia to intimidate civilians and destroy our infrastructure, he said in a statement on his official Telegram. At least 26 people were injured in the attack in Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region, local governor Serhii Lysak said. Several high-rise buildings and homes were damaged in the eastern city of Dnipro. In the Kyiv region, local
