A letter from Ukrainian President Voldy Mee Zelensky to President Donald Trump signaled the preparations of Eastern European countries to sign a mineral contract that has gained great support among independent Republican voters in a focus group on Tuesday at FOX News Digital.
“Today I received an important letter from Ukrainian President Zelensky,” Trump said in a speech Tuesday. “The letter states, “Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiation table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. No one wants peace than the Ukrainians,” he said. ”
Trump continued reading the letter aloud, saying, “My team and I are ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership, so we are ready to continue to achieve peace. We really value how much Ukraine has done to maintain sovereignty and independence. Ukraine is always ready to sign on the minerals and safety agreement.”

The Fox News Digital Focus Group was conducted by Maslansky + Partners.
Dial’s investigation revealed a surge in Republican approval when Trump mentioned Zelensky sent him a letter, but it revealed that support among independents grew when Trump read the letter aloud, expressing that he was ready to sign the proposed deal.
The democratic line was largely neutral throughout this part of Trump’s speech, and was the minimal uptick when the letter was read out loud.

“I’m grateful that he sent this letter. I got it a while back,” Trump continued. “At the same time, we are seriously discussing with Russia and receiving a strong signal that they are ready for peace. Isn’t that beautiful?”
“It’s time to stop this insanity,” Trump said. “It’s time to stop the murders. It’s time to end this pointless war. If you want to end the war, you have to talk to both sides.”

The letter came after a heated meeting of Zelenskyy at the Oval Office last Friday, where he questioned the security guarantees of the transaction to Ukraine. The meeting ended abruptly without a contract, and Zelenskyy was kicked out of the White House.

Last month, the Trump administration presented a draft agreement that granted the United States important access to Ukraine’s rich natural resources, including important minerals, oil and gas. The first proposal repays the US $500 billion in military aid during an ongoing conflict with Russia, seeking that Ukraine allocate 50% of its revenues to a joint reconstruction investment fund from natural resources, infrastructure and other assets.
