Trump says he had a 'very good phone call' with Zelenskyy

Former President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke over the phone on Friday, the two leaders said.

Zelenskyy reached out to Trump, according to a source close to the Ukrainian leader and Trump, who said the two had a "very good phone call."

Zelenskyy said in a statement on social media that he spoke with Trump to "congratulate him on the Republican nomination and condemn the shocking assassination attempt in Pennsylvania."

Zelenskyy, who has been the target of multiple assassination attempts himself, expressed his sympathy and horror at the assassination attempt, the source said.

In a statement on social media regarding the call, Trump said Zelenskyy "remarked about the American people coming together in the spirit of Unity during these times" in the wake of the incident. Trump indicated that he will support Ukraine in getting a just peace, more than two years into the country's war with Russia, according to the source.
