President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke for just under an hour Sunday, a White House official told CNN, amid US warnings that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could happen as soon as this week.
Biden and Zelensky last spoke in January and it "did not go well," a senior Ukrainian official told CNN at the time, amid disagreements over the "risk levels" of a Russian attack.
The Zelensky call comes a day after Biden warned Russian President Vladimir Putin during a call that the US and its allies will respond "decisively and impose swift and severe costs" on Russia should Putin decide to invade Ukraine.
