President Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke for over half an hour via phone on Tuesday, a White House official said, as Zelenskyy's country remains under assault from invading Russian forces.

"Just had a conversation with @POTUS . The American leadership on anti-Russian sanctions and defense assistance to Ukraine was discussed," Zelenskyy said. "We must stop the aggressor as soon as possible. Thank you for your support!"
