During the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on June 5<\/strong>, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he had read an open letter from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, called it brazen, and stated that he saw no grounds for a personal meeting with the Ukrainian leader.<\/p>\n

Explaining his reaction to the message, the Russian president described the tone of the address as not conducive to establishing contact, and noted that such steps create obstacles to dialogue.<\/p>\n

\u00abThe letter (from Zelensky) contains elements of rudeness. Is this the creation of conditions for personal meetings and negotiations? Or the creation of an atmosphere in which it is impossible to hold any personal meetings? I think the latter. One should address not lovers of the epistolary genre, but our fighters on the front line: \u00abThe whole country is looking at you. Work, brothers\u00bb, \u2014 said Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

Separately, he noted that, in his view, Volodymyr Zelensky should learn good manners from U.S. President Donald Trump, pointing to the unacceptable tone of the Ukrainian address.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the prospects for talks, Putin made it clear that he is not considering the possibility of a personal meeting with the President of Ukraine, emphasizing the difference in the parties’ objectives.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00abI see no point in meeting with Zelensky. The point of negotiations for Ukraine is to stop our offensive. And we need agreements\u00bb, \u2014 said Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Prior to this, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky published an open appeal to Vladimir Putin proposing a personal meeting and an end to the war; the full text is available via the link.<\/p>\n
