The Ukrainian leader reported that the topics of conversation included further military support for his country and ways to further isolate Russia internationally.

We are working on increasing international support for Ukraine, strengthening defence capabilities, opportunities to rebuild what has been destroyed, and we also talked about the need to increase Russia’s isolation”, President Zelenski wrote on Twitter.
President Andrzej Duda also tweeted about the conversation with the Ukrainian leader. He announced that he would discuss Russian crimes with other leaders.
“We spoke about the need to isolate Russia, which today has committed massive war crimes. Such crimes have no time limitations and are prosecuted all over the world”, said the Polish president.
