Kyiv: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed peace efforts in Ukraine with US counterpart Donald Trump in a phone call. Zelenskyy stated that he briefed Trump on the latest developments in Ukraine, adding that he would discuss the crisis with Russia and peace efforts during a meeting with the US president at the G7 summit later in France.

According to Qatar News Agency, Zelenskyy's Communications Advisor Dmytro Lytvyn said that the conversation was productive and lasted between 30-35 minutes. In recent months, several rounds of US-brokered negotiations aimed at reaching a settlement to the war in Ukraine have failed to bring Kyiv and Moscow closer together.
