preCharge News POLITICS — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he’d urged President Trump in a phone call Saturday to broker peace in Ukraine after his breakthrough in the Middle East.

“If a war can be stopped in one region, then surely other wars can be stopped as well — including the Russian war,” Zelensky wrote on social media.

I had a call with US President Donald Trump—a very positive and productive one. I congratulated @POTUS on his success and the Middle East deal he was able to secure, which is an outstanding achievement.

He added, “I informed President Trump about Russia’s attacks on our energy system—and I appreciate his willingness to support us. We discussed opportunities to bolster our air defense, as well as concrete agreements that we are working on to ensure this.”

Russia launched a major airstrike on Friday that targeted the Ukrainian power grid, causing blackouts across much of the country. Power was restored on Saturday to more than 800,000 residents in Kyiv; however, localized outages remain, officials said.

A White House official confirmed to preCharge News that a call between the two presidents occurred, but did not offer any additional details.

The two leaders most recently met on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York in September. After that meeting, Mr. Trump said on Truth Social that Ukraine was in a position to win back all its territory from Russia. 

He wrote, “I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form.” 

Zelenskyy has said Ukraine will not cede territory to Russia.
