President Biden speaks to Zelenskyy by phone
President Joe Biden called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Saturday evening, according to the White House, adding that they spoke for 32 minutes.
They spoke from 6:18 p.m. ET to 6:50 p.m. ET, the White House said.
The White House released a readout of Biden's call with Zelensky, saying the leaders discussed recent talks between Ukraine and Russia and Biden "reiterated his concern" about Russia's attack on a nuclear power plant. Biden also noted assistance being sent to Ukraine and said that the administration is "working closely with Congress to secure additional funding."
Biden also "welcomed the decision this evening by Visa and Mastercard to suspend service in Russia."
Earlier in the day, Zelenskyy spoke virtually to about 300 members of Congress and their staff. He pleaded passionately for more assistance from America and the West, specifically asking for war planes, according to those in the meeting. There was no mention of that in the readout from the presidents' conversation.
