Tensions between the two leaders have flared since Friday, when Trump announced a deal that would see Russia release large amounts of diesel onto global energy markets in exchange for sanctions relief.
Zelensky described the deal as a "weak decision", saying it would encourage Russia to keep attacking Ukraine, but Trump said Saturday that Ukraine's strikes were to blame for rising fuel prices.
