In a revelation that has sent shockwaves through diplomatic circles, former US President Donald Trump reportedly penned a private letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin, proposing a high-stakes summit to end the Ukraine conflict—with eyebrow-raising conditions.
The Controversial Correspondence
According to sources, Trump's letter—sent during his presidency but only recently disclosed—suggested an unprecedented face-to-face meeting with Putin. The agenda? A potential resolution to the Ukraine war that critics argue might have favoured Moscow.
Alaska on the Table?
Most startling were hints that Trump floated the idea of discussing Alaska's status—a move that would have reversed the 1867 sale of the territory from Russia to the US. While no concrete offer was made, the mere suggestion has sparked outrage among historians and policymakers.
Melania's Mysterious Role
First Lady Melania Trump allegedly played a behind-the-scenes role in facilitating the communication. Fluent in Russian, she may have helped craft the letter's delicate phrasing—raising fresh questions about her influence on foreign policy.
Timing Raises Eyebrows
The letter's emergence coincides with Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, where he's vowed to "settle the Ukraine war in 24 hours." Critics argue this proves his willingness to make concessions to Putin, while supporters see it as bold statesmanship.
Global Reactions
European leaders have expressed alarm, with one NATO diplomat calling it "a blueprint for appeasement." Meanwhile, Kremlin officials remain tight-lipped, neither confirming nor denying the letter's existence—a silence that speaks volumes.
