Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced Saturday that he connected with U.S. President Donald Trump by phone on the Fourth of July, urging the United States to show firm resolve in helping bring an end to the war with Russia — a conflict that has now stretched beyond four years.
Zelenskiy described the exchange in positive terms, saying the two leaders had a “very good” discussion focused on the current situation along the front lines of the war.
“There is a real prospect to end this war and American resolve will have a crucial meaning,” Zelenskiy stated following the call.
The Ukrainian president added that he and Trump reached an agreement to “continue our conversation” when they meet at next week’s NATO summit, which is scheduled to take place in Turkey.
