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

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.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he thought "it would be great" if the two leaders met.

while in the presence of that monster, Putin. Even then, I worry about what he might try.

I wish they’d printed the whole letter instead of just distilling it down as a teaser. It’s fairly awesome.

Can you imagine having a leader like this instead of… the bullshit we’re stuck with? Wish we could post the entire thing; not going to try to pick out four stinkin’ paragraphs to summarize, and I can’t find the full text outside of this FB post from Meidas Touch:
