Trump, Zelensky, European leaders hold phone call on Russia war
(MENAFN) US President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European leaders held a phone call on Sunday to discuss “concrete steps” to end the Russia-Ukraine war, Finnish President Alexander Stubb said.
The call, which lasted more than an hour and followed a meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy, included French President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Polish President Karol Nawrocki, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Stubb said in a post on the social media platform X.
“We discussed concrete steps how to end the war. We are all working towards a just and lasting peace,” Stubb wrote.
Von der Leyen welcomed what she described as positive momentum from the talks, saying: “There was good progress, which we welcomed. Europe is ready to keep working with Ukraine and our US partners to consolidate this progress.” She stressed that “ironclad security guarantees from day one” are essential to any peace effort.
Poland’s presidential office said the status of peace negotiations was also discussed, noting that “today’s conversation shows that any decisions regarding peace and security in the region must be made among all interested parties.”
Trump earlier hosted Zelenskyy at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, where they discussed a US-backed plan aimed at ending the nearly four-year-long conflict.
Zelenskyy arrived in the United States on Sunday after concluding a visit to neighboring Canada.
