Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump had a telephone conversation, the Ukrainian head of state said in an X post, APA reports.
During the conversation, he thanked the White House chief for his efforts towards peace.
Volodymyr Zelensky said that the killings should be stopped as soon as possible: "It is truly a must to stop the killing as soon as possible, and we fully support this. Many months could have already passed without war, had Russia not been prolonging it."
"Today, we coordinated our positions – Ukraine and the United States. We exchanged assessments of the situation: The Russians have intensified the brutality of their attacks. President Trump is fully informed about Russian strikes on Kyiv and other cities and communities. Of course, we spoke about sanctions against Russia. Their economy continues to decline, and that’s exactly why Moscow is so sensitive to this prospect and President Trump’s resolve. This can change a lot," Zelensky noted.
The agenda also included the decision of the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark to provide weapons to Ukraine, as well as cooperation with the US in the field of defense.
Zelensky also said that the text of the agreement on partnership in the defense sector with official Washington is ready.
