        President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he hoped to meet Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump next week when he travels to the United States to present Ukraine's "victory plan" in the war against Russia.
        
        Zelenskiy will attend sessions of the U.N. Security Council and General Assembly and also plans to meet U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in separate meetings on Sept. 26.
        
        The Ukrainian leader said he also hoped to meet Trump.
        
        "We will most likely have a meeting, I think, on September 26-27," Zelenskiy told media late on Friday, without providing further details.
        
        Trump faces Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in the Nov. 5 U.S. election.
        
        Zelenskiy said in August he wanted to present his plan to Biden, Harris, and Trump. While Trump and Zelenskiy talked over the phone in July, they have not met in person since Trump's 2017-2021 term.
