Joe Biden has apologised to Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the recent delay in approving new US aid for Ukraine.
Last month, following months of political disagreements, the Senate passed $95bn (£76.2bn) in war aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
"I apologise for those weeks of not knowing," the US president said.
"Some of our very conservative members [of Congress] were holding it up.
"But we got it done, finally. We're still in - completely, totally."
The Ukrainian president thanked his counterpart for American assistance.
"It's very important that you stay with us," he said.
"It's very important that in this unity, the United States of America, all American people stay with Ukraine, like it was during World War Two - how the United States helped to save human lives, to save Europe."
The two men were speaking in Paris, the day after D-Day commemorations in Normandy.
