Realizing that the situation was no-win situation due to the
destruction that would happen if they fired the missiles, Khruschev sent a
letter to Kennedy saying that they will remove their missiles from Cuba if the
U.S. swears not to attack it. They also
sent another letter saying it will dismantle the missiles at Cuba if they
remove their missiles at Turkey. Though
the Americans replied to the first letter, they ignored the second. They said Robert Kennedy to negotiate with
the Russian ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin where they secretly removed their
missiles in Turkey and the crisis ended.
