Ukraine’s Zelensky Publishes an Open Letter to Russia’s Putin, Proposes a Meeting and a ‘Full Ceasefire’
June 5, 2026
Is peace about to break out?
In its fifth year, the Russia-Ukraine war continues unabated, with heavy drone-missile strikes back and forth.
Yesterday (4), Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky released an open letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin, proposing a meeting between the two leaders to negotiate an end to the war.
Zelensky also said he was ready for a ‘full ceasefire’.

Reuters reported:
“In his letter, which the president’s office said had been sent to other countries, including the United States, Zelenskiy said the majority of Russians had grown tired of Ukrainian missile and drone attacks, inflation and fuel shortages, and were ready for peace.
Zelenskiy said that with the United States focused on the conflict in Iran ‘it would be wrong to simply wait until the war in Europe returns to the center of its attention’.
And the path to peace, he said, had to start at the frontline, ‘the line from which diplomacy must begin’. Ukraine, Zelenskiy said, stood for ‘a full ceasefire for the duration of the negotiations. This is standard practice’.”
Reporter: Zelensky wrote a letter to Putin. He wants to meet with Putin alone because he thinks you’re too busy with Iran. Is he right?

RT reported:
“Putin publicly responded to a recent letter from Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, in which Zelensky insulted Putin, threatened Russia with more drone strikes, and then invited Putin to so-called peace talks. Putin picked the letter apart, questioning Zelensky’s insistence that the EU – and not the US – should provide Ukraine with security guarantees, and pressing the Ukrainian leader on his refusal to hold elections and “usurpation” of power since his term expired in 2024.
Russia is always ready for serious negotiations, he declared, adding that he would not meet Zelensky “just for the sake of meeting.” Putin noted that the last time Russia entered negotiations with Ukraine and its European backers in good faith, the resulting Minsk agreements “were about one thing: that is saving more time for the rearmament of Ukraine. Why would we need anything like this once again?”
Putin revealed for the first time that an unnamed businessman called him last month and said that he had been invited to Kiev to meet with Zelensky’s officials. Kiev used the meeting as a backchannel to request a sit-down with Putin, but Ukrainian forces struck a college dormitory in Lugansk with multiple waves of kamikaze drones a day later, killing 21 people, mainly teenage girls. ‘I asked him, what does it mean? They are asking for a meeting, and they carry out such atrocious, blatant attacks as the killing of children’, Putin recalled his conversation with the businessman after the attack. ‘They said ‘I’ve got no explanation’.”
Putin reacts to Zelensky’s “rude” letter
He pointed out that Zelensky asked for a ceasefire, while simultaneously threatening Russia and insulting Putin
“It’s meant to make sure that no personal meetings can take place at all”
He added that he sees no point in meeting… pic.twitter.com/pKKbXMYMs5
