WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social that he had a "very good call" on Friday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and pledged to end the war pitting Kyiv against Moscow through negotiations.

Zelenskiy also reported his conversation with Trump and expressed thanks for U.S. military assistance. But he made no reference in a post on social media platform X to efforts to end the 28-month-old conflict.
