Associates of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy have discussed holding a phone call between the two leaders, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
One source said the call could occur on Friday, but Reuters was not able to immediately determine if the conversation, which would be their first since the former U.S. president left the White House in 2021, had been confirmed.
CNN reported earlier on Thursday that the two leaders had a phone call scheduled on Friday. The news organization warned that the schedule of the former president - who is in Milwaukee to accept the Republican Party presidential nomination - is subject to frequent changes.

>>>>President Trump knows what stolen elections are all about. No difference from Putin’s farcical referendums .<<<<
At least Putin held elections unlike DICTATOR Z.
We believe the most important way the America First approach to national security could have affected the Ukraine War was to prevent it. A strong and decisive president who stood up to Russian President Vladimir Putin with a tough and coherent U.S. foreign policy for Russia, Ukraine, and NATO could have prevented Putin from ordering the February 24, 2022 invasion of Ukraine. In our view, tough and coherent policies implemented by President Donald Trump are why Russia refrained from invading its neighbors during his presidency but felt no such constraints during the administrations of George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden.
Trump dissuaded Putin from invading neighboring states because his leadership and foreign policies promoted deterrence and peace through strength. Putin saw in Trump a strong and decisive president who was prepared to use all tools of American power—peaceful and coercive—to defend U.S. interests. Similar to other U.S. adversaries, Putin also viewed Trump as unpredictable and unconventional. In light of Trump’s threat to destroy North Korea if it threatened U.S. allies in the Asia-Pacific, Trump’s summits with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, bombing Syria for using chemical weapons on civilians, dropping America’s largest bunker buster bomb on an ISIS redoubt in Afghanistan, imposing strong economic sanctions on China while keeping dialogue open with Beijing, Putin could not be sure how Trump would respond to Russian belligerence. This unpredictability played an important role during the Trump presidency in impeding hostile actions by U.S. adversaries.
Trump also had a Russia policy that demonstrated American strength. For example, in 2018, after the Russian mercenary Wagner Group advanced on U.S. bases in Syria, they were met with immediate and decisive action when President Trump authorized punitive airstrikes against them. Those airstrikes set back Russia’s operations and influence in the region. Russia never retaliated against the United States over that attack—which reportedly killed hundreds of Russian mercenaries—likely because Putin did not know how Trump would respond.

former Ukrainian president zElenskyy is going to punch you right in the ankle if you don't watch it.
U still mad at President Trump?
The Trump administration just confirmed the US military killed ‘hundreds’ of Russians in lopsided fight in Syria
Then who’s paying you for your night shift?
Your Putin is afraid of President Trump’s return to office.
Anyone remember how the last call to Zelensky was used to impeach Trump? I do.
Mr President, send moh money.
Let fake nation of Ukraine slip back into the bosom of Mother Russia
The Trump administration just confirmed the US military killed ‘hundreds’ of Russians in lopsided fight in Syria
The February battle was reportedly incredibly one-sided, as a massive column of mostly-Russian pro-Syrian regime forces approached an established US position in Syria and fired on the location.
The US responded with a massive wave of airstrikes that crippled the force before it could retreat, and then cleaned up the remaining combatants with strafing runs from Apache helicopters.
Mr President, send moh money.
You are an angry, ankle biting, little twerp.
Isn’t that the type of thing that caused a lot of problems for Trump the last time? I don’t remember the details but Gen. Michael Flynn was involved with, but I think it needs to be avoided. Zelenskyy cannot be trusted.

Kyiv in 3 days!
The entire Ukrainian economy is being propped up by massive infusion of cash from America and the EU.
When the cash flow shuts down, so does the Ukrainian economy.
Your voice to Trump’s ear. Perfect phrasing.
