Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is still waiting for a call from US President Donald Trump following his talks with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska,
according to the Financial Times.
According to the Financial Times, a source close to Zelenskyy said the Ukrainian president had so far received no word from Trump after his talks with Putin, describing the situation as "very strange."
Another source characterized the outcome of the Alaska summit as a "nothingburger", a term used to describe an event that attracts much attention but ultimately proves insignificant.
