’I don't see any point for now’
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he currently sees no reason to meet Volodymyr Zelenskyy after the Ukrainian president published an open letter proposing they hold face-to-face talks to agree an end to the war.
Speaking at Russia's annual economic forum, Putin said Zelenskyy's letter was rude in parts and did not come across as sincere offer to hold talks.
"This letter contains some rather rude remarks. Was it a way to create the conditions for a face-to-face meeting or a way not to set up a face-to-face meeting? I think it was the second," said Putin.
