Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed war, peace and diplomacy with US counterpart Donald Trump on Sunday, the Ukrainian presidency said, in what it called a “substantive” conversation on Trump’s 80th birthday.
The call comes as US-led talks to end the conflict in Ukraine -- grinding through its fifth year -- have been sidelined by the Iran war and as Russian advances on the battlefield were showing signs of losing steam.
“It was a quite substantive conversation about everything -- from birthday wishes to diplomacy and war/peace,” Zelenskyy’s adviser Dmytro Lytvyn told journalists, adding that the call had lasted “30-35 minutes.”
