"President Volodymyr Zelensky held a phone call on Feb. 25 with his American counterpart Donald Trump ahead of planned talks between senior officials from both countries in Geneva.
Zelensky confirmed the call in a social media post, saying Trump's representatives, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and adviser Jared Kushner, also participated.
"I just spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump. President Trump's representatives, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, were also on the call," Zelensky wrote. "Our teams are working hard right now, and I thanked them for all their efforts and such involvement in the negotiations, in the work to end the war."
According to unnamed sources cited by Axios, the conversation was described as friendly and positive. Zelensky reportedly said he hopes the war can end this year, while Trump said he wanted it to end within a month.
The call came a day before Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov is scheduled to meet with Witkoff and Kushner in Geneva on Feb. 26."
