Trump and Zelensky

For the first time since Donald Trump left the White House, the former American President had a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

"The president of Ukraine and I had a very good phone call today. He congratulated me on a very successful Republican National Convention and my candidacy as a Republican for President of the United States. He condemned the horrific assassination attempt last Saturday and noted that the American people came together in the spirit of Unity during these times," Trump said in a post on Social Truth.

The conversation between them over the phone comes a day after Trump officially accepted the nomination of the Republican Party for president, but also after increased concerns in Europe about the policy that the former President will follow in relation to the Russia-Ukraine war, after coming to power in november

Precisely for these voices, Trump said in his post announcing the call that he will be the one to end the armed conflict in the heart of Europe.

“I appreciate President Zelensky reaching out because I, as your next President of the United States, will bring peace to the world and end the war that has cost so many lives and destroyed countless innocent families. "Both sides will be able to come together and negotiate an agreement that ends the violence and opens a path forward to prosperity," Trump said.

Even Zelensky himself reacted after the phone call with Trump through a post on the 'X' platform, where he said he congratulated the former US president on his candidacy and condemned the shocking assassination in Pennsylvania.

"I wished him strength and absolute safety in the future. I noted America's vital bipartisan and bicameral support for protecting our nation's freedom and independence. We agreed with President Trump to discuss in a personal meeting what steps can make the peace just and truly sustainable," the Kiev leader said.

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Trump has repeatedly said he could resolve the war in a day, but it remains unclear how he will manage to convince Zelensky and Putin of a deal that ends the conflict.

In a presidential debate last month, Trump said Putin's terms for a deal, which would include annexing four Russian-occupied regions, were "unacceptable," but the former president and his allies have also criticized the aid delivery. US military in Kiev.
