A day after speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump held a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday to discuss the Ukraine war.

Following the call, Trump posted on Truth Social, stating that negotiations were progressing. "Just completed a very good telephone call with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine. It lasted approximately one hour. Much of the discussion was based on the call made yesterday with President Putin in order to align both Russia and Ukraine in terms of their requests and needs. We are very much on track, and I will ask Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, to give an accurate description of the points discussed. That statement will be put out shortly," Trump said.

Earlier in Helsinki, Zelenskyy confirmed his contact with Trump, saying, "Today I will have contacts with President Trump, and we will discuss the next steps."

Tuesday's Trump-Putin call didn't secure a ceasefire, but Putin agreed to pause strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities for 30 days after rejecting Trump's earlier proposal to halt hostilities.
