Trump and Zelenskyy at UN TSN airs the live exchange

Sep 22

TSN’s Olha Koshelenko reports Zelenskyy meeting von der Leyen and waiting for delayed talks with Trump, with winter air defense and missile production on the agenda. The broadcast later airs their public exchange: hopes for peace before winter, possible further Putin talks, diesel supplies, Belarusian fertilizer purchases, Iran negotiations and Trump’s upcoming Xi meeting. Trump also discusses the White House ballroom’s budget and timetable. These are public remarks and plans, not an announced peace settlement. The broadcast’s English captions retain details that its Ukrainian interpretation abbreviates.

Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met in New York on September 22 to discuss Russia's war against Ukraine. Fox's panel reports Trump suggesting a deal might be approaching and describes bipartisan interest in supporting Ukraine, without a concluded peace agreement or concrete military-aid commitment. TSN supplies preparations and a live public question-and-answer exchange. Its correspondent reports a delayed start and Ukrainian priorities of winter air defense, Patriot interceptors and possible SAMP/T missile production. Zelenskyy expresses hope for ending the war before winter; Trump says a deal is needed but does not disclose territorial terms. They discuss refinery strikes, fuel-price pressure, the Graham sanctions powers and possible missile-production cooperation. Asked about a trilateral encounter involving Putin in Miami, Trump says he does not know whether that specific format will happen, while asserting both leaders want the war to end. TSN's anchor subsequently presents Miami as a possible venue. No summit, peace deal or Patriot production license is confirmed. Vremya's account says no details of the Zelenskyy talks were yet available and airs Trump saying he expects to meet Putin again, while explicitly remaining unsure whether that meeting would be in Miami. It treats the previous Alaska meeting as background. Tagesschau's September 23 retrospective airs Trump saying the war must end before winter and that a deal will emerge, though its terms remain unknown. It then includes Zelenskyy's separate post-meeting press statement offering to halt attacks on Russian diesel supplies and refineries if Russia stops striking Ukraine's electricity, heating and water systems. That conditional offer is also recorded as a distinct statement; it is not an agreed ceasefire. TSN's September 23 retrospective says the meeting lasted about forty minutes. It reports Zelenskyy's account that a unilateral halt to Ukrainian refinery strikes was not discussed on this occasion, Trump responded positively to a proposed winter air-defense package, and Zelenskyy asked him to involve Xi Jinping in negotiations. A positive response is not reported as a finalized aid commitment. Vremya's September 23 retrospective portrays the public exchange as tense, airs the complete refinery-strike question and Trump's reply about diesel prices, and says no Patriot missiles or supply promise were obtained. It acknowledges that the private discussion's tone is unknown. This is retained alongside TSN's report of Zelenskyy's positive account of prospective support. Vremya also repeats unsubstantiated drug-use insinuations from social media while quoting the qualification that the observed gesture is not proof and that Zelenskyy has denied such allegations. Vremya's September 26 retrospective cites Bloomberg for a claim that Trump urged Zelenskyy at the September 22 UN-side meeting to visit Moscow for talks with Putin and that Zelenskyy refused and was upset by the request. It frames the public exchange as Trump admonishing Zelenskyy over infrastructure attacks; that is the broadcaster's interpretation. The private Moscow proposal is attributed to Bloomberg's sources, not established by the public footage. Separately, contemporaneous reporting relayed a denial from Ukraine's presidential office; that denial is not included in Vremya's item. The September 27 review replays the refinery-strike question and Trump's answer about rising diesel prices. The correspondent then makes categorical drug-use allegations based on Zelenskyy's gestures and greetings. The footage supplies no evidence establishing drug use; this is a hostile allegation, not a medical or factual finding. In the original post-meeting briefing, Zelenskyy says Trump wants to end the war, urges a leaders' dialogue and says the U.S. response on winter interceptors was positive but he received nothing very concrete. He denies a request for unilateral Ukrainian restraint at this meeting. His account does not confirm a missile transfer, production license or agreed summit, and does not resolve the separately attributed private Moscow-proposal claim.
