President Joe Biden spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a call on Sunday, the White House confirmed in a press release. Their conversation took place after a tumultuous weekend in Russia that nearly led to a civil war.
“We discussed the course of hostilities and the processes taking place in Russia,” Zelenskyy said in a tweet. “The world must put pressure on Russia until international order is restored.”
Zelenskyy added that he thanked Biden for the “unflagging support” of Ukraine amid its ongoing war against Vladimir Putin’s Russia. Part of that support, Zelenskyy said, was the support of the fighter jet coalition to “protect our skies.”
