The phone call between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky has ended.

In a post on his Truth Social social media account, Trump described the call as "very good" and lasting about one hour.

"Much of the discussion was based on the call made yesterday with President Putin in order to align both Russia and Ukraine in terms of their requests and needs," he wrote.

"We are very much on track," Trump added.

Trump said that he's requested that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz "give an accurate description of the points discussed".

A further statement will be published "shortly", he added.

We're likely to hear more details of the call from Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt at a briefing at 13:00 EST (17:00 GMT)

Volodymyr Zelensky has just commented on his earlier phone call with Donald Trump, describing it as "positive", "frank", and "very substantive".

"We agreed that Ukraine and the United States should continue working together to achieve a real end to the war and lasting peace," he says.

"We believe that together with America, with President Trump, and under American leadership, lasting peace can be achieved this year."

We'll bring you more from his statement in our next post.
