Ukraine's agriculture minister said Ukraine is seeking up to $2 billion in funding to help cover additional logistics costs for shipments routed via the Baltic Sea.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy told the Wall Street Journal he has asked Trump for a winter military aid package including Patriot air‑defense systems and other technologies, and expects the U.S. to push for an agreement to halt strikes on energy infrastructure. Zelenskiy said energy is a priority for Trump and that he believes Trump will try to negotiate an energy ceasefire, but added Putin is unlikely to respond without increased sanctions or other new pressures; domestic elections have reduced pressure on Moscow to alter military actions even if battlefield gains remain limited. Zelenskiy will address the UN General Assembly on Wednesday — his fourth in‑person speech since the 2022 conflict began.

Fed Governor Barr said further policy adjustments may be necessary to ensure inf returns to target in a timely manner.
