Trump-Zelensky phone call/ Talk about war, drones and sanctions against Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced today that he had a 'productive' conversation with his US counterpart Donald Trump, regarding the end of the war, sanctions on Russia and the finalization of a US-Ukraine agreement on drones.

Trump, who has expressed frustration with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in recent weeks, has given the Russian president until August 8 to make peace in Ukraine or face tougher sanctions.

"A productive conversation with President Trump, with the main focus of course on ending the war. We are grateful to Trump for all efforts towards a just and lasting peace. It is truly imperative to stop the killings as soon as possible and we fully support this. Many months could have passed without the war, if Russia had not prolonged it."

Today, we coordinated our positions - Ukraine and the United States. We exchanged assessments of the situation: The Russians have intensified the brutality of their attacks. President Trump is fully informed about the Russian attacks on Kiev and other cities and communities.

Of course, we talked about the sanctions against Russia. Their economy continues to decline, and that's why Moscow is so sensitive to this perspective and President Trump's determination. This could change a lot.

We discussed joint European decisions that can help our defense. We already have commitments from the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and Denmark - over a billion dollars for American weapons that Ukraine will receive. Thank you! This cooperation with NATO countries will continue.

We also discussed our bilateral defense cooperation with America. The draft agreement on drones has already been prepared by the Ukrainian side, we are ready to discuss it in detail and finalize it. One of the strongest agreements that can be, "- Zelensky announced. /CNA
