The two leaders spoke on the phone ahead of Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s trip to the White House on Friday.
Donald Trump says he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin for face-to-face talks in Hungary after the pair made «great progress» during a «very productive» phone call on Thursday.
Mr Trump did not confirm a date for the proposed meeting, but the Kremlin said work would begin «immediately» after the «extremely frank and trustful» call, which it said took place at Moscow’s request.
It would be the second face-to-face meeting between the two leaders since Mr Trump returned to the White House in January, having met in August for a summit in Alaska.
Mr Trump and Mr Putin also agreed that «high level advisors» from Washington and Moscow will meet next week, with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio leading the US delegation.
Mr Rubio and vice president JD Vance were also present on the call with Mr Putin, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
Writing on his Truth Social platform after the call, Mr Trump said he «spent a great deal of time» talking to the Russian leader about potential trade between their countries when the war in Ukraine is over.
