Germany's outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday discussed U.S. President Donald Trump's role in negotiations to achieve peace in Kyiv's three-year-old war with Russia, APA reports citing Reuters.
"Both agreed on the importance of the U.S. president's leadership role, also with a view to achieving a swift start to a ceasefire and lasting peace for Ukraine", a German government spokesperson said.
Following the call, Zelenskyy said on X he had held "an honest conversation about various issues and our vision for the future security architecture" with Scholz.
Zelenskyy said on Tuesday he was ready to work under the U.S. president's leadership to bring lasting peace after Washington paused military aid to Kyiv, following disastrous Zelenskiy-Trump talks last week.
"We all want a safe future for our people. Not a temporary ceasefire, but an end to the war once and for all. With our coordinated efforts and U.S. leadership, this is entirely achievable," Zelenskyy said after the call with Scholz.
