Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are set to meet on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly this week.

The White House has been pushing for an agreement to end the war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said after a phone call with President Trump on Sunday that the two will meet this week on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.

Why it matters: The meeting comes as the White House works to broker an agreement between Russia and Ukraine to take reciprocal steps to deescalate and resume negotiations — and as fighting between the two sides has intensified in recent days.

Zelensky’s chief negotiator and the head of Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service, Rustem Umerov, told Axios he’s been working with White House envoys in recent days to organize the meeting, which is expected to happen Tuesday.

Driving the news: The meeting will take place several days after Trump signed a Russia sanctions bill and approved the biggest arms deal between the U.S. and Ukraine since assuming office — two steps Ukraine has been pushing for months.

End the war!
