US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff has claimed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has apologised to Trump in a letter, days after the extraordinary diplomatic Oval Office meeting that stunned the world.
“Zelenskyy sent a letter to the President. He apologised for that whole incident that happened in the Oval Office. 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," Witkoff said on Monday to Fox News.
What started as a courteous photo opportunity devolved into a shouting match between the two leaders, plunging the relations between the two countries to a new low.
At the oval Office meeting, Trump dressed down Zelenskyy and said that the latter is “gambling with World War Three". He further said that a truce with Russia is “fairly close" and that the deal allowing US to use Ukraine’s natural resources would be “very fair."
US Vice President JD Vance was also present at the meeting in which the Ukrainian leader sought security guarantees from the US as Donald Trump said that he is trying to bring an end to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
