Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday that he spoke with President Donald Trump ahead of the G7 Summit, describing the call as productive and centered in part on efforts to end Russia’s war against Ukraine.
In a post on X, Zelenskyy said he congratulated Trump on his 80th birthday and used the conversation to discuss what he called several key issues, with peace talks high on the agenda. He also said he wished Trump success in his efforts to help bring the war to a close.
“I have just had a great conversation with @POTUS,” Zelenskyy wrote. “I congratulated President Trump on his birthday, and we have had quite a detailed discussion about many key things – peace, surely, was among them.”
Zelenskyy also expressed gratitude for continued U.S. support, saying American assistance has remained meaningful throughout the conflict. He pointed specifically to military aid, writing that Ukraine remembers “every step of that support – from Javelins to Patriots.”
