Summary
A carefully worded letter from Ukraine's President Zelenskyy has made its way to Donald Trump - The News Agents have details on the role that the British government may have played in getting that message delivered to the American President. What's less clear is how Trump will respond - what happens now? He described Zelenskyy's letter as "important" - so why has he suspended intelligence sharing with Kyiv? And will there be any punishment for Russia in this “deal”? Plus, we’re with the CEO of the Munich Security Conference, who led JD Vance on stage for that speech.

| 0:10.0 | The letter reads, Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible, |
| 0:16.0 | to bring lasting peace closer. |
| 0:18.0 | Nobody wants peace more than the Ukrainians, he said. My team and I stand ready to |
| 0:24.3 | work under President Trump's strong leadership to get a peace that lasts. We do really value how much |
| 0:32.7 | America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. |
| 0:38.3 | Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it at any time |
