Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday he had spoken to President Donald Trump on the Fourth of July holiday and ​called for "American resolve" to help end the more than four-year-old war ⁠with Russia.

Zelenskyy said he had ​a "very good" conversation with Trump, discussing the situation ⁠on the front line.

"There is a real prospect to end this war and American resolve will have a ​crucial meaning," he said.

Zelenskyy said he and Trump had agreed to continue their discussion at next week's NATO summit in Turkey.

In his comments, ⁠Zelenskyy thanked the United States ⁠for its help throughout the conflict and "American hearts" ⁠who ⁠thought of Ukraine's future and valued freedom throughout the world.

One of Kyiv's most celebrated monuments, the 203-foot-tall Motherland Monument statue depicting ​a female warrior next to the Dnipro River, was decked out at night in American ​colors.
