Details: Lytvyn said the call between Zelenskyy and Trump took place on Wednesday evening and had already ended by the time he confirmed it at about 20:40 Kyiv time.

Axios correspondent Barak Ravid reported the call earlier, citing his own sources.

There have been no official details from either leader's office so far.

Background:

• In an address marking the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion, Zelenskyy stressed that it is important for the US president to visit Ukraine so that he can understand that pressure must be applied to Russia.
• He said Moscow is "playing" the US by pretending to engage in negotiations and has no real intention of ending the war.
• Zelenskyy has pointed out it is "not fair" that Trump continues to publicly call on Ukraine, rather than Russia, to make concessions for the sake of peace.
