Former US President Donald Trump told Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in a phone call that he intends to end the conflict between Ukraine and Russia if he is reelected.

Trump made this statement on Truth Social after Zelensky congratulated him on the successful Republican National Convention.

The conversation included discussions about potential steps to achieve lasting peace.

Zelensky emphasized the importance of US bipartisan support for Ukraine’s independence and thanked the US for its assistance.

No specific details about a personal meeting were disclosed.

In 2019, Trump faced impeachment over a controversial call with Zelensky regarding Joe Biden.

During an interview with the BBC, Zelensky reiterated his aim for total victory against Russia and expressed concerns about potential US sanctions being lifted from Russia under Trump.

Zelensky's presidential term expired in May, but he has maintained power under martial law.

Russia has set conditions for a ceasefire, including Ukraine’s non-membership in NATO and troop withdrawals from disputed regions.
