Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that he spoke by phone with US President Donald Trump. He shared the news of the call on his Telegram channel.
Zelensky said the two leaders will meet in person in New York next week. The meeting will coincide with the opening of the United Nations General Assembly's autumn session, which is set to begin in the city next week.
Few details disclosed so far
Zelensky's statement did not include further details about the content of the phone conversation. The exact date of the planned in-person meeting, as well as its agenda, has also not yet been made public. The US side has likewise not issued a separate statement regarding the call or the upcoming meeting.
The UN General Assembly's annual autumn session is one of the largest international gatherings, bringing together heads of state and government from around the world. The session traditionally serves as an occasion for numerous bilateral meetings between world leaders held alongside the main agenda.
The fact that Zelensky and Trump plan to meet during this period indicates that contact between the two leaders is continuing even as the session takes place in New York. More specific information about the timing of the meeting and possible discussion topics is likely to emerge in the coming days as the opening of the UN General Assembly session approaches.
