Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged Donald Trump to broker peace in Ukraine like he did in the Middle East during a phone call on Saturday, the Ukrainian leader said. “If a war can be stopped in one region, then surely other wars can be stopped as well including the Russian war,” Zelensky wrote in a post on Facebook.
Relations between the two leaders have warmed dramatically since February, when they sparred during a now infamous televised meeting at the White House.
Trump has since called Zelensky a “nice guy” and maintained support for Ukraine, which has been fighting a Russian invasion since 2022.
The two leaders previously met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York in September.
