On Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky engaged in a phone conversation with former U.S. President Donald Trump. Zelensky later shared details of the discussion on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The primary focus of the call was on strategies to enhance the protection of Ukrainians against Russian aggression and to bolster Ukraine's standing. Zelensky expressed his country's commitment to collaborative efforts aimed at achieving peace.
Zelensky also noted that Trump had shared insights from his recent meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Earlier in the day, Zelensky himself had spoken with Rutte, who provided details on the collaborative efforts between the United States and European nations to maintain and increase support for Ukraine.
Furthermore, Zelensky mentioned that the United States, Germany, and Norway are actively collaborating to supply additional Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine. This announcement followed Trump's earlier statement regarding an agreement with NATO concerning the provision of weapons to Ukraine, which was made during his meeting with Rutte in Washington, D.C.

What exactly did Trump promise? We need to know the details, not just vague pronouncements.

Collaboration is key. Good on Zelensky for reaching out to Trump. Hope this leads to more concrete action.

Trump's track record on Ukraine is... well, let's just say it's questionable. Hope Zelensky isn't being naive.

This feels like a photo-op. Is this a genuine effort to help, or just a political calculation by both sides?

Important that both men talked. Maybe this is good for Ukraine to receive more weapons.
