Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, when asked by Fox News’ Trey Yingst Thursday about his conversations with President Biden and overall support from the U.S., said, “It’s a pity it began after the beginning of this war, but we have it.”

Yingst asked: “You spoke this week with President Biden. How would you describe your conversations with the U.S. leader? Do you believe the Americans waited too long to give Ukraine the support you need to push back this Russian offensive?”

“We have good contact. I can tell you the truth,” the Ukrainian leader responded. “It’s a pity it began after the beginning of this war, but we have it. My appreciation to him and to his team. We can speak now often.”
