Putin rejects Zelenskyy's offer to meet, saying he sees 'no point' in it

Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's proposal for a face-to-face meeting, calling Zelenskyy's letter 'boorish' and citing a recent drone attack in Russian-controlled Luhansk. Putin dismissed the meeting's value, emphasizing Russia's desire for a comprehensive settlement rather than a ceasefire, and reiterated his stance that negotiations should occur only when a deal is ready to be signed.
