        U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social that he had a "very good call" on Friday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and pledged to end the war pitting Kyiv against Moscow through negotiations.
        
        Zelenskiy also reported his conversation with Trump and expressed thanks for U.S. military assistance. But he made no reference in a post on social media platform X to efforts to end the 28-month-old conflict.
        
        Trump has said he will end the war in Ukraine before he even takes office in January should he win the Nov. 5 election. He has also said that had he been in office when the Kremlin sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022, the war would not have taken place.
        
        In his Truth Social post, Trump said that as president he "will bring peace to the world and end the war that has cost so many lives."
