Zelenskyy says he's had 'good contact' with Biden

Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy said on Thursday he had "good" contact with US President Joe Biden.

Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy said “We have good contact, I can tell the truth, and it's a pity that it began after the beginning of this war, but we have it, and my appreciation to him, and his team, and so we can speak now often”.

His commments came as Moscow's advance on Ukraine's capital in the north has apparently stalled, with a huge armored column outside Kyiv at a standstill.

And stiffer than expected resistance from the outmanned, outgunned Ukrainians has staved off the swift victory that Russia may have expected.
