Putin said he had read President Volodymyr Zelenskyʼs letter but "sees no point" in a meeting between the leaders.
Russian media is writing about this.
According to Putin, the war must first be ended, and only then can the meeting be held. Putin also noted that Zelenskyʼs letter contained "elements of rudeness".
At the same time, the Russian dictator said that Zelensky should “not be afraid to go to the polls, and not usurp power”. Putin himself has been in power for over 25 years.
