White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, shared details about the phone conversation between former President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Referring to a statement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, Leavitt stated that Trump and Zelensky had a “fantastic” conversation.
She mentioned that Zelensky expressed gratitude to the United States for its support, particularly for the Javelin missiles, and noted that “lasting peace under President Trump’s leadership can be achieved.”
Both presidents also discussed the fighting in Kursk, with Zelensky requesting additional air defense resources.
A technical meeting is expected soon, aiming for a broader ceasefire in the Black Sea, as reported by the BBC.
Trump also reportedly said that “American ownership” of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure could help the country.
The majority of the conference so far has focused on immigration policies and internal issues in the U.S., particularly legal disputes regarding deportation flights.
