US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, promising to end the war between Ukraine and Russia.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote,’I appreciate President Zelenskyy for reaching out because, as your next President of the United States, I will bring peace to the world and end the war that has cost so many lives and devastated countless innocent families.’

He added, ‘Both sides will be able to come together and negotiate a deal that ends the violence and paves a path forward to prosperity.’

Later, in an X post, President Zelenskyy acknowledged his conversation with Trump, saying, ‘I spoke with Donald Trump to congratulate him on the Republican nomination and condemn the shocking assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. I wished him strength and absolute safety in the future.’

Zelenskyy noted, ‘I highlighted the vital bipartisan and bicameral American support for protecting our nation’s freedom and independence. Ukraine will always be grateful to the United States for its help in strengthening our ability to resist Russian terror. Russian attacks on our cities and villages continue every day.’

‘We agreed with President Trump to discuss in a personal meeting the steps needed to make peace fair and truly lasting,’ Zelenskyy tweeted.
