Greece's prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is heading into this week's 81st UN General Assembly in New York with firm positions on Greece-Turkey relations, even as the diplomatic calendar remains chaotic and three active war fronts dominate the global agenda. According to Skai, recent developments have shifted momentum in Greece's favor, and Athens is not treating any bilateral progress as a precondition for a Mitsotakis-Erdogan meeting. The Achilles Shield defense agreement with Israel and ongoing submarine cable investigations are being handled on their own track, separate from any potential bilateral meeting. Erdogan is expected to push Trump for a concrete commitment on F-35 fighter jet deliveries, a deal that has stalled for nearly two and a half months since July with no visible progress. If Trump and Erdogan fail to hold a formal one-on-one meeting, Turkish media are already spinning the possibility of an informal encounter at Trump's dinner this week, but no bilateral session is on the official schedule. That absence, if it holds, would amount to a significant diplomatic snub against Ankara. Trump is also confirmed to meet Zelensky, who is expected to press for more Western military support. According to the Financial Times, Trump urged Zelensky by phone to halt Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, citing concerns over diesel prices hitting American consumers this winter. Trump's own words on the war were pointed: he called it a "ridiculous and endless war" that must end. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian arrives in New York Tuesday for the General Assembly opening. Trump has left open the possibility of meeting him, which would mark a significant thaw. Chinese President Xi Jinping is scheduled to meet Trump in Washington on Wednesday to discuss the fragile US-China trade truce, with some speculation he could appear in New York a day earlier. The full picture of what Trump will say in his General Assembly address remains unclear even to American analysts, with CNN journalist Kylie Atwood noting that no near-term resolution is visible on any of the major issues he is involved in. #UNGeneralAssembly #GreeceTurkey #Mitsotakis
