Washington, DC: US President Donald Trump said that he has received a letter from his Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday, where he expressed Ukraine’s readiness to come to a negotiating table to bring lasting peace closer. Trump said that Zelenskyy also expressed Ukraine’s willingness to sign the agreement on minerals and security.
Addressing a joint session of Congress on Tuesday (local time), Trump said that he appreciated the letter he received from Zelenskyy. He stated that his administration had serious discussion with Russia and they have strong signals that Moscow is ready for peace.
He said, “Earlier today, I received an important letter from President Zelenskyy of Ukraine. The letter reads: ‘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,” he said. “My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts. We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it at any time that is convenient for you.”
“I appreciate that he sent this letter, just got it a little while ago. Simultaneously, we’ve had serious discussion with Russia and have received strong signals that they are ready for peace. Wouldn’t that be beautiful? It’s time to stop this madness. It’s time to halt the killing. It’s time to end this senseless war. If you want to end wars, you have to talk to both sides,” he added.
Zelenskyy’s letter to Trump comes after his verbal clash with US President and Vice President JD Vance at the White House on Friday (local time). This shouting match between the leaders was witnessed by White House officials, mediapersons and other Ukrainian officials. (ANI)
