Quote from Witkoff He Zelenskyy apologised for that whole incident that happened in the Oval Office.
I think that was an important step. Details It is worth noting that it is not clear from what Witkoff said whether he means Zelenskyys public message or a private one.
As regards the public message, it is worth recalling that Zelenskyy tweeted after the White House spat that Ukraine was ready to work fast under President Trumps strong leadership to end the war.

Trump subsequently said he had received a letter from Zelenskyy in which the Ukrainian president said he was ready to come to the negotiating table. Ukraines ambassador to the US, Oksana Markarova, clarified that Trump had been referring to Zelenskyys tweet when he mentioned a letter in his address to the nation.
