'Enough of the war' — Zelensky throws down gauntlet to Putin in open letter

"President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a personal invitation to Russian President Vladimir Putin in an open letter published June 4, offering to meet face-to-face to put an end to five

years of full-scale war.
The letter was published a day after Ukraine launched a large-scale attack on St. Petersburg, striking a major oil terminal and military targets on the same morning Putin welcomed world leaders to the city for his flagship economic forum.
In it, Zelensky lays out his case for Putin's need to end the fighting and sets terms for the reopening of negotiations.
"Almost half of your 26 years of power in Russia you have spent in the war against Ukraine," Zelensky wrote.
"Whatever you say about NATO, geopolitics and the Russian language, this war is your personal choice — a war without a real reason. This is how history will remember it." KI
