“I spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump. A really good conversation. I am grateful for his willingness to support Ukraine and continue working together to stop the killings and achieve a lasting and just peace. Trump briefed me on his meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. It is important that we have such strong relations and that Alliance countries are striving to increase defense spending”, - wrote Ukrainian leader.
