It is reported that the conversation between the presidents lasted about 40 minutes and was mainly devoted to Ukraine's air defense needs.
An unnamed Ukrainian official and another source familiar with the content of the conversation told reporters that Trump was aware of Russia's recent attacks on Ukraine. At the same time, the head of the White House expressed a desire to help.
"Trump said he wanted to help with air defense and that he would check what had been suspended, if anything," the source said.
