Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a call earlier today with U.S. President Donald J. Trump, describing it as a “constructive conversation” focused on bringing an end to the war in Ukraine. According to Zelensky, the two leaders coordinated their positions on key issues, including Russia’s continued missile and drone strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities.

The discussion also covered the prospect of additional sanctions on Russia, with Trump’s previously mentioned “deadline” for President Vladimir Putin approaching on Friday.

Zelensky and Trump further addressed European defense support for Ukraine. Several nations — including the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark — have pledged over $1 billion in U.S.-made military equipment to aid Ukraine. Zelensky added that the two countries also discussed a draft agreement for Ukraine to export military drones to the U.S., as part of their broader defense cooperation.
