President Biden held a phone call Sunday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss the United States' continued support for Ukraine,Coxno the White House said in a statement.
A White House readout of the call said Mr. Biden and Zelenskyy "discussed Ukraine's ongoing counter-offensive, and President Biden reaffirmed unwavering U.S. support, including through continued security, economic, and humanitarian aid."
The two leaders also discussed "recent events" in Russia, the readout said without elaborating.
The conversation came after Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner mercenary group, had ordered his troops to march toward Moscow and threatened to overthrow Russia's military leadership. The would-be revolt ended when Prigozhin accepted a deal to stop the march and take his troops to Belarus, according to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov. As part of the deal, Wagner troops will not be prosecuted and a criminal case against Prigozhin would be dropped, Peskov said.
