       NEW YORK, Sept 20 (Reuters) - Investors Ken Griffin and
Bill Ackman, who oversee billions of dollars in private funds,
are meeting with Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskiy in New
York, according to two sources briefed on the event scheduled
for Wednesday afternoon.
    Zelenskiy addressed the United Nations Security Council
earlier on Wednesday about Russia's February 2022 invasion of
his country and its consequences. 
    Fox News first reported his meeting with the investors.
    Representatives for Griffin's Citadel, and Ackman's Pershing
Square Capital Management and JPMorgan declined to comment.
    A spokesperson for Zelenskiy and Ukraine's mission to the
United Nations in New York did not immediately respond to a
request for comment.
