”We talked about opportunities when it comes to air defense and agreed that we will work together to strengthen the protection of our airspace”, writes Zelensky on social media.

The conversation takes place the day after Trump spoke on the phone with Russia's President Vladimir Putin. The conversation was without results, according to Trump.

I am very disappointed with the conversation with President Putin. I do not think he is ”there”, said Trump late on Thursday.

A likely topic of conversation between Trump and Zelensky was the US recently announced arms embargo to Ukraine. According to Trump, the US has given Ukraine ”too many weapons”.

We must ensure that we have enough for ourselves, he said on Thursday.
