President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a phone call with President of the United States Joseph Biden. The parties discussed a wide range of issues.

"Ukrainians were greatly encouraged by the delivery of ATACMS as our warriors put them to good use on the battlefield," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

They also considered the possibility of further strengthening the long-range capabilities of the Ukrainian military.

Zelenskyy thanked Biden for the fruitful visit of US Special Representative for Ukraine's Economic Recovery Penny Pritzker to Kyiv.

"We have started productive talks on the use of frozen Russian assets," he said.

Zelenskyy informed Joseph Biden that the Verkhovna Rada had adopted legislation necessary to advance with reforms and start negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the European Union.

He welcomed the visit of the US leader to Israel to seek a peaceful settlement and protect the lives of civilians.

The sides paid special attention to the next joint steps in advancing the Ukrainian Peace Formula.

"I welcome the decision of the United States to send its representative to the next meeting of advisors in Malta at the end of this month. Ukraine is grateful for the vital and enduring support of the United States in our struggle for freedom and against Russian aggression," Zelenskyy said.
