Witkoff also spoke positively about the letter that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj had written to US President Donald Trump. Trump had previously said that he had received a letter from Zelenskyi in which he had stated that Ukraine was ready for peace negotiations. "An apology was issued. It was recognized that the United States has done so much for Ukraine and a sense of gratitude was expressed," said Witkoff about the content of the letter. The US President is of the opinion that it was a "first positive step".
In February, representatives of the US government had already met with colleagues from Russia in Saudi Arabia to negotiate an end to the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. "We want to see peace", Witkoff emphasized once again.
