Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that he urged United States President Donald Trump to help broker peace in Ukraine, drawing parallels to Trump's recent ceasefire efforts in the Middle East. Zelensky described their phone conversation as positive and congratulated Trump for his achievements in negotiating a ceasefire in Gaza. He expressed hope that similar diplomatic pressure could be applied to end the conflict with Russia, calling for Trump to encourage the Kremlin to enter negotiations. Despite previous talks between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, no peace agreement has been reached, and diplomatic progress has slowed as international focus shifts to other conflicts. Zelensky also mentioned ongoing discussions about strengthening Ukraine's air defenses, including potential new agreements and recent deliveries of advanced systems.
