Zelensky told Axios the Trump administration is pressing for three immediate de-escalation steps: a halt to energy strikes, a reopened Black Sea grain corridor, and three-way talks with Russia. Separately, the Kremlin confirmed it received and welcomed a U.S. invitation for Putin to attend the December G20 summit in Miami, a move backed by French far-right leader Marine Le Pen. Zelensky said Ukraine would support a trilateral Trump-Putin-Zelensky meeting at the summit if an agreeable format is reached, and said he asked Trump to enlist China's Xi Jinping to press Putin toward de-escalation.
