Donald Trump had what he called a “very good” telephone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and again vowed to bring about a deal to end the war with Russia — though without saying how he’d do it.

The two men spoke earlier Friday, Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. He added that he appreciated Zelenskiy “for reaching out” and promised Russia and Ukraine would “come together and negotiate a deal that ends the violence and paves a path forward to prosperity.”
