A U.S. presidential election next November could bring the return of Republican Donald Trump, who has been sharply critical of support for Ukraine. Zelenskiy said it was vital to keep the world's attention focused on the war in Ukraine. Zelenskiy said Fox News journalist Benjamin Hall, who was badly wounded covering the war in Ukraine last year, and The Sun journalist Jerome Starkey were also invited to the meeting with Murdoch.
