Zelensky says he had 'honest' conversation with German chancellor

 Volodymyr Zelensky says he has held an "honest conversation" with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz by phone, about various issues including Ukraine's future security.

"We rely on Europe’s unity around Ukraine and are working toward it," Zelensky says in a post on X.

"We all want a safe future for our people. Not a temporary ceasefire, but an end to the war once and for all. With our coordinated efforts and US leadership, this is entirely achievable."

Scholz also says on X that he told Zelensky "our solidarity is unbreakable" - and that the US president will take a leadership role as they negotiate for a ceasefire and lasting peace.
