Zelensky proposes face-to-face talks in open letter to Putin

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has proposed face-to-face talks with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in an open letter. Zelensky believes that direct engagement between the two countries is the only way to end the ongoing war. He emphasized the importance of personal negotiations to find a resolution, as global attention is currently focused on other issues, such as the situation with Iran. The proposal comes as the conflict between Ukraine and Russia continues with no clear end in sight.
