U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a phone call on Friday.
Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian president’s office, described it as a “very important and substantive conversation,” though he initially did not say who Zelensky had spoken with.
Zelensky later confirmed the call was with Trump. In a post on Telegram, he said they discussed the situation on the front lines and Russian airstrikes on Ukraine. “We talked about air defense capabilities and agreed to work on strengthening the protection of our skies,” Zelensky wrote. “We also spoke in detail about the defense industry and the potential for joint production. We are ready to move forward with direct projects with the United States and believe this is critically important for our security, particularly when it comes to drones and related technologies.”
Axios correspondent Barak Ravid, citing an informed source, reported that the call lasted about 40 minutes.
