KYIV, June 4 (Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy published an open letter to President Vladimir Putin on Thursday in \u200bwhich he proposed the two leaders meet to agree an end to more \u200cthan four years of war, warning that Kyiv stood ready to fight on otherwise.<\/div>\n
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 \u200bhad grown tired of Ukrainian missile and drone attacks, inflation and fuel shortages, and \u200bwere ready for peace.<\/div>\n
Zelenskiy said that with the United States focused on the \u2060conflict in Iran “it would be wrong to simply wait until the war in Europe returns \u200bto the center of its attention”.<\/div>\n
And the path to peace, he said, had to start at \u200bthe 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.”<\/div>\n
He said the United States “has the capability to monitor a ceasefire along the \u200bline where hostilities stop”.<\/div>\n
Zelenskiy proposed setting a clear date for a meeting and said several countries \u200bhad “traditionally hosted leaders to resolve issues of war and peace”, citing Switzerland, Turkey and the countries of the Arab \u200cworld.<\/div>\n
“Do \u2060not be afraid to take the path out of this war. That is the main thing that is required of you now,” Zelenskiy wrote.<\/div>\n
“Ukraine proposes ending this war through direct engagement between us \u2014 and you. I am proposing a meeting… If you do not personally come to the conclusion \u200bthat it is time \u200bto end this war, \u2060Ukraine will continue fighting for its existence.”<\/div>\n
And continued war, Zelenskiy suggested, could threaten Putin’s personal position.<\/div>\n
“It is a fact of Russian history that you \u200bknow well: when Russia grows tired, change comes.”<\/div>\n
In Moscow, the Kremlin \u200bsaid it had \u2060seen Zelenskiy’s letter and that Putin would be briefed on it.<\/div>\n
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, writing on X, said the letter would also be sent officially through diplomatic channels.<\/div>\n
Sybiha described the letter as “a \u2060serious and \u200bmeaningful proposal to end the war…with clear, doable steps \u200band an invitation for a personal meeting.”<\/div>\n
“We expect a meaningful response to this proposal. It\u2019s time to end this war. It\u2019s \u200btime to choose peace.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
