Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said he had two different types of phone calls with U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday. The first was a separate conversation between the two men, and the second involved the leaders of France, Finland, Germany, Italy and the European Union. Zelensky said the second call was longer and of a different nature. Zelensky said we are considering holding a meeting at the highest level of all parties, including Ukraine, Russia, the United States, European Union countries and the United Kingdom. He pointed out that Turkey, the Vatican or Switzerland could be used as venues for the meeting, and hoped that the meeting could be held as soon as possible. At the same time, Zelensky said that Ukraine will not withdraw troops from parts of its territory and will not submit to any ultimatum from Russia. He hopes that the prisoner swap, which has already been agreed with Russia, will happen in the coming days or weeks. In his first phone conversation with Trump, Zelensky stressed the importance of achieving a ceasefire, maintaining sanctions against Russia, and that Ukraine must be consulted on any decision involving Ukraine. In addition, Zelensky expressed the expectation that Europe will announce a new round of strong sanctions against Russia, and urged the United States to increase sanctions on Russia's banking and energy sectors to reduce Russia's funding for military spending.
