Zelenskyy says Ukraine ready for ‘energy ceasefire,’ calls for trilateral meeting with Putin, Trump

Zelenskyy said Ukraine is ready for an “energy ceasefire” with Russia, provided Moscow stops attacks on critical infrastructure.

What the coverage shows

Most outlets center on the Trump-Zelensky meeting and the effort to find a way toward ending the war, with Reuters and the New York Times explicitly foregrounding Zelensky’s hope for help before winter and Trump’s talk of working on a solution. A large second cluster, led by Axios, NBC News, CBS News, CNN, NPR, Democracy Now! and others, instead frames the broader White House media-ban fight, with several extracts focusing on lawsuits, pool coverage, or the launch of “Trump TV.” BBC News and CBS News also split off into explainer-style pieces about the press pool, while CNBC and The Independent emphasize energy-truce or oil-refinery angles in only their own coverage.
