Zelenskyy “letter” to Trump refers to social media post, Ukrainian ambassador says
Ukraine’s Ambassador to the U.S. Oksana Markarova clarified Trump referred to Zelenskyy’s X post, not a letter. Zelenskyy thanked the U.S. and Trump for their help, stressing Ukraine’s desire for lasting peace
Liga.net reported the information.
Ukraine's Ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Markarova, explained that when U.S. President Donald Trump referred to a "letter" from Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his address to Congress, he meant his post on X.
"Despite a tough situation, we’re moving forward, building ties, and advancing our priorities. President Trump read President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s post in his national address and said, ‘I appreciate that he sent this letter,’" she said.
Zelenskyy’s press secretary, Serhii Nykyforov, told the outlet there was no "letter," confirming Trump referred to the social media post.
In his speech to Congress, Trump said the U.S. received a "strong signal" from Russia about peace readiness and cited a "letter" from Zelenskyy expressing willingness to negotiate soon.
The U.S. President thanked Zelenskyy for it.
The letter Trump referenced was Zelenskyy’s X post, where he wrote that the Oval Office meeting didn’t go as planned. He thanked the U.S. and Trump for their help and emphasized that Ukraine does not want an endless war.
"My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts," he wrote.
