US President Joe Biden spoke Sunday with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine. White House press secretary Jen Psaki noted about this in a statement. The latter continues as follows:

“President Biden made clear that the United States and its allies and partners will respond decisively if Russia further invades Ukraine. The leaders expressed support for diplomatic efforts, starting next week with the bilateral Strategic Stability Dialogue, at NATO through the NATO-Russia Council, and at the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. President Biden underscored the commitment of the United States and its allies and partners to the principle of ‘nothing about you without you.’ He reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. He also expressed support for confidence-building measures to de-escalate tensions in Donbas and active diplomacy to advance the implementation of the Minsk Agreements, in support of the Normandy Format.”

In his turn, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on his aforesaid first conversation with US President Joe Biden this year.

"The first international conversation of the year [with Biden] proves the special nature of our relations. We discussed joint actions [by Ukraine and the US] and the partners, reforms, and de-oligarchization to maintain peace and prevent further escalation [of tension] in Europe. We [i.e., Ukraine] appreciate the firm support," Zelenskyy said, according to Ukrayinska Pravda.
