Trump Reveals Ukraine's Peace Talks and Mineral Deal Proposal

Donald Trump says he has received a letter from Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyj stating that Ukraine is ready to sign a mineral agreement with the USA. At the same time, we have had serious discussions with Russia and received strong signals that they are ready for peace, said Trump in his speech to Congress.

In the letter, the Ukrainian president wrote, according to Trump, that Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to get closer to a lasting peace.

I appreciate that he sent this letter, I received it a moment ago, said Trump, who did not provide any details on how the paused military support from the USA to Ukraine will proceed.

No one wants peace more than Ukrainians, said Zelenskyj in the letter, according to Trump.

It's time to put an end to this madness, stop the killing and put an end to the war. If you want to put an end to the war, you have to talk to both sides, said Trump.

Already on Tuesday afternoon, Zelenskyj stated in public statements that Ukraine is ready to sit down at the negotiating table and willing to sign the mineral agreement on Ukrainian natural resources.

"We see the agreement as a step towards greater security and more solid security guarantees," Zelenskyj wrote then.

Zelenskyj and Trump were supposed to sign the agreement on Friday, but their chaotic meeting put a stop to the plans.

"The meeting did not go as it should. It's regrettable that it went as it did," Zelenskyj wrote on Tuesday.
