Zelenskyy issues open letter to Putin proposing meeting as US 'fully focused' on Iran

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed a direct meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war, citing the U.S. focus on Iran as a reason to act independently. He suggested hosting the talks in Switzerland, Türkiye, or Arab countries, emphasized involving Europe and the U.S. in peace negotiations, and offered a full ceasefire and prisoner swap during discussions.
