KYIV, Ukraine — The president of Ukraine held a video call with 20 U.S. senators and members of Congress on Friday amid tensions with Russia, which recently stoked fears of a possible invasion by massing troops near Ukraine's border.
A statement from the president's office described “the importance of getting the United States involved in the process of a peaceful settlement” to the conflict in eastern Ukraine, an area known as Donbas. Zelenskyy and the lawmakers also talked about applying further sanctions pressure on Russia, Washington's support of Kyiv's “Euro-Atlantic aspirations” and Ukraine's prospects for NATO membership.
A 2015 peace deal, brokered by France and Germany, ended large-scale hostilities in Donbas, but efforts to reach a political settlement of the conflict have failed so far.
