 President Zelensky wrote on X that during the call, he told Trump Ukraine would always be grateful for help from the U.S. in their fight against Russia's invasion, and that the two agreed to discuss more at a future in-person meeting. Zelensky, who organized the call, has previously criticized Trump for promising to curb aid to Ukraine. But once Trump became the Republican presidential nominee, Kyiv-based political analyst Mikola Davyduk says the call was necessary.
