Zelensky Apologizes to Trump Following Oval Office Dispute

Ukrainian and U.S. officials prepare for peace talks after tensions over halted aid and an unsigned mineral deal.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly sent a letter apologizing to President Trump after a heated Oval Office meeting on February 28.
The meeting ended with Zelensky being asked to leave the White House and a key mineral agreement between the two nations left unsigned.
Following the dispute, U.S. military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine were paused, though defense-related intelligence sharing reportedly continued to some extent.
Zelensky’s letter, confirmed by U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, emphasized Ukraine’s readiness for peace negotiations and appreciation for U.S. support.
U.S. and Ukrainian officials are set to meet in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to discuss restarting peace talks and addressing unresolved security and territorial issues.
