Trump, Ukraine's Zelenskyy speak by phone
CBSN
Washington — Former President Donald Trump spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday in a call that comes nearly five years after another phone conversation between the leaders triggered Trump's first impeachment.
Both Trump and Zelenskyy shared details of the call on social media, saying the Ukrainian president congratulated Trump on becoming the GOP nominee and condemning Saturday's attempted assassination.
Trump, who has insisted that the war between Russia and Ukraine "would have never happened" if he were still president, described it as a "very good phone call."

Kinshasa, Congo — An attempted jailbreak in Congo's main prison in the capital left at least 129 people dead, most of them in a stampede, authorities said Tuesday. A provisional assessment showed that 24 inmates were shot dead by "warning" gunshots as they tried to escape from the overcrowded Makala Central Prison in Kinshasa early Monday, Congolese Interior Minister Jacquemin Shabani said on the social platform X.
