Trump says he had "very good call" with Zelenskyy before Alaska meeting

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that his recent conversation with Volodymyr Zelensky went “very well” and deserves a “10 out of 10” rating.

He made the remark during a speech at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which was streamed on the White House’s YouTube channel, Caliber.Az reports.

“We had a very good call. President Zelenskyy was on the call. I would rate it 10/10,” Trump said.

According to Trump, after his upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, scheduled for August 15 in Alaska, he plans to contact Zelenskyy again to discuss the results of negotiations with NATO representatives.

For the record, U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on August 15, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, marking their first in-person summit since 2019 and the first U.S.-Russia summit since 2021. The high-stakes meeting, dubbed the "Alaska 2025" or "Trump-Putin Summit," aims to address the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, with a focus on negotiating a potential ceasefire and broader peace deal.
