When hotel rooms in Manhattan cost $700 per night, streets close, and the city fills with motorcades of limousines, New Yorkers know it’s time for the world’s largest diplomatic summit. More than 140 heads of state and government are scheduled to speak at the annual UN General Assembly in the city.

In late February 2022, Russian forces invaded Ukraine, and the conflict on Europe's eastern border has persisted since. During a recent UN meeting in New York, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed hope for peace for the first time, suggesting that Russia's war against Ukraine could end in the coming year.

The war with Russia is “closer to the end” than many think, said Volodymyr Zelensky during an interview with ABC News, once again urging allies to further strengthen the Ukrainian army.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested in an interview with ABC that the war with Russia could end sooner than expected, reiterating the need for continued support from the country's allies. Zelensky emphasized that decisive actions by the United States could help bring the conflict in Ukraine to a conclusion by next year.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday arrived in the United States for a crucial visit to present Kiev's plan to end two and a half years of war with Russia.

Zelensky will present his proposals — which he calls a "victory plan" — to U.S. President Joe Biden, as well as presidential hopefuls Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he will press the case for Ukraine to use long-range missiles on targets inside Russia when he visits Washington this week.

Zelensky was speaking hours after confirming that the United States and Britain had still not authorized Kyiv to use such weapons in this way.

Three individuals, including a 12-year-old boy, were killed in Russian strikes on a residential area of Kryvyi Rih, according to Unian reports. Authorities fear there may be more victims trapped under the rubble.

The European Parliament has passed a resolution supporting Ukraine's right to strike legitimate military targets within Russia. The resolution, approved by 425 votes to 131 with 63 abstentions, asserts that Ukraine's ability to defend itself is hampered by current restrictions, leaving the country vulnerable to continued attacks on its population and infrastructure.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to visit the United States next week, where he will address the UN Security Council on the ongoing war with Russia. In Kyiv, Zelensky confirmed that preparations are underway for his meeting with US President Joe Biden in Washington, where he plans to present Ukraine's "Victory Plan".

Russia's counteroffensive to retake Ukrainian-held territory in the Kursk region has been "stopped", a spokesman from Ukraine's military administration there told AFP on Wednesday, after Moscow said it was beginning to repel the surprise incursion.
