**Deck**: Donald Trump again encouraged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to travel to Moscow for talks with Vladimir Putin during their UN meeting this week, a proposal Zelensky rejected and that people familiar with his position say upset him, Bloomberg reports.

A proposal from Donald Trump for direct talks in Moscow is highlighting deep differences over how and when Ukraine should negotiate with Russia.

During their meeting at the UN this week, Trump again encouraged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to travel to Moscow for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Bloomberg reports. According to people familiar with Zelensky’s position cited by Bloomberg, the Ukrainian leader rejected the idea and was upset that Trump raised it.

The suggestion comes as Russian drones and missiles continue to strike Ukrainian cities. Recent reports from Ukrainian officials describe overnight attacks that killed two women in a private house in Zaporizhzhia and injured a four‑year‑old boy and a 45‑year‑old man, as well as strikes and debris that set homes, shops and warehouses on fire in Kyiv and damaged buildings in Odesa region.

In that context, the idea of Zelensky traveling to Moscow for talks with the leader who ordered the invasion cuts against Kyiv’s stance that negotiations should not reward ongoing aggression or take place while Russian forces occupy Ukrainian territory.

Signals to watch next include any public comment from Zelensky’s office or Trump’s team confirming or elaborating on Bloomberg’s account, and how key European governments respond, given their repeated statements that any talks with Russia must reflect Ukraine’s own conditions and consent.
