Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has had a phone conversation with US President Joe Biden.
"We discussed additional sanctions, the situation on the battlefield and the importance of preserving seaborne exports of agricultural products," Zelenskyy said on Facebook. "We also coordinated efforts on the eve of the joint international events. The international community should give a common decisive response to the brazen attempts to annex Ukrainian territories."
Zelenskyy thanked Biden and the entire American people for the continued defence and financial support.
"I was pleased to hear the words of President Biden that our servicemen inspire the whole world, our people inspire the whole world. And rightly so. Our victory in this war will show how much Ukraine can contribute to the global strength of freedom, the global strength of democracy," he added.
