Trump, Zelenskyy, and European Leaders Hold Urgent Call on Ukraine War

Former U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and key European leaders held a phone call to discuss the war in Ukraine. The group talked about "concrete steps" that could be taken to end the conflict with Russia. This was confirmed by Finnish President Alexander Stubb, who also participated. President Stubb stated the leaders are working toward a "just and lasting peace" for Ukraine. He did not provide specific details on the proposed measures. The unusual call links Trump, the presumptive Republican U.S. presidential nominee, directly with the ongoing diplomatic efforts. Current U.S. President Joe Biden was not involved. The discussion signals a continued focus on finding a resolution to the war, now in its third year.
