President Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a lengthy phone call Thursday to discuss efforts to deter a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine.Zelensky gave a positive appraisal of the call —despite rebuking Biden last week for suggesting that a “minor incursion” by Russia might result in less severe penalties due to disagreement among NATO allies.“Had a long phone conversation with [Biden],” Zelensky tweeted. “Discussed recent diplomatic efforts on de-escalation and agreed on joint actions for the future. Thanked President @JoeBiden for the ongoing military assistance. Possibilities for financial support to Ukraine were also discussed.”
