Zelensky Apologized To Trump In A Letter Over Oval Office Blowup by AImiron(m): 8:51pm On Mar 10
Days after their fiery Oval Office blowup, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky apologized to President Trump, US special envoy Steve Witkoff claimed Monday.

Zelensky sent a letter to the president. He apologized for that whole incident that happened in the Oval Office,” Witkoff, 67, told Fox News on Monday.

“I think that it was an important step, and there’s been a lot of discussion between our teams and the Ukrainians and the Europeans who are relevant to this discussion as well.

Trump, 78, publicly revealed that he received a letter from Zelensky, 47, last Tuesday during his annual presidential address to Congress last week. But Trump made no mention of receiving an apology.

The Post reached out to a Zelensky spokesperson for comment. A top aide, Mykhailo Podolyak, previously told French outlet Le Point that his boss wouldn’t apologize.

Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than the Ukrainians,” Trump read from Zelensky’s letter last week during his speech to Congress.

“We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence.”

US and Ukrainian officials are gearing up for a meeting in Saudi Arabia starting Tuesday to further iron out a plan to end the bloody war sparked by Russia’s unprovoked invasion

The talks in Saudi Arabia are intended to get peace efforts back on track after tensions flared between Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Zelensky in the Oval Office on Feb. 28.

At the time, Zelensky had openly questioned Vance’s push for diplomacy with the Kremlin, citing Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s track record.

Following the verbal spat, Zelensky was booted from the White House, and the mineral agreement the two sides had been set to finalize was left unsigned.

Intelligence sharing and military aid to Ukraine had been put on pause during the aftermath of that acrimonious meeting, something CIA Director John Ratcliffe later confirmed. Witkoff claimed that from his “understanding,” intelligence sharing for strictly defense matters with Ukraine wasn’t completely “shut off.”

If I'm Zelenesky I'll not sign such deal without security guarantee for Kiev. The same US/EU/UK pressured him to confront Russia and promised NATO/EU membership for Ukraine.

Meanwhile, what's the latest about Kursk incursion by the Ukrainian military?

At the end, this idiot will sign off Ukraine's natural wealth to the Americans without achieving any goal.

This is the only end in sight. It was glaring from the beginning of the war. US get Ukraine minerals , Ukraine loose the war eventually.

America has its number one enemy at its helm of Affairs. Trump is Russian asset and Putin's lapdog. Americans must recover their country back in midterm elections by retrieving both houses from the republicans and commence proceedings to impeach the treasonous alien president. He rode on anti Lgbtq sentiment shared by all reasonable people and after gaining power went berserk and crrazy to destroy America, the EU and Ukraine for his master. If not a crazy fellow, who will want Canada, Greenland, Panama canal and Gaza all at the same time. I was his staunch supporter but i think he needs some sought of mental evaluation. I don't follow crazy fellows, we have nothing in common. The governor of Florida should have made a better president not this fellow with all kinds of policy somersault and erratic behaviours. I really miss Ronald Reagan.
