Zelenskiy, Biden discussed joint actions to keep peace in Europe: tweet

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he discussed with U.S. President Joe Biden in a call on Sunday joint actions on keeping peace in Europe and preventing further escalation. They spoke days after Biden held a second conversation in a month with Russian President Vladimir Putin amid tensions near Russia's border with Ukraine, where Russia has massed troops in preparation for what Kyiv and its allies fear could be a new military offensive. "The first international talk of the year with @POTUS proves the special nature of our relations," Zelenskiy wrote on Twitter.
