Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated US President Donald Trump on brokering the Gaza peace agreement during a Saturday phone call, expressing hope for similar diplomatic success in ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Zelensky described the conversation as "very positive and productive," stating, "If a war can be stopped in one region, then surely other wars can be stopped as well." He briefed Trump on Russia's recent attacks on Kyiv's energy infrastructure and discussed strategies to strengthen Ukraine's air defense capabilities. The leaders explored "good options and solid ideas" to compel Moscow toward genuine diplomacy through strength. Relations between the leaders have notably improved since their tense February White House exchange.
