- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has published an open letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin, appealing for a meeting to end the conflict and delivering a scathing assessment of Putin's 26-year leadership.
- Zelensky urged Moscow and Kyiv to take the initiative in resolving the war, arguing against waiting for the US, whose attention is currently diverted by the conflict in Iran.
- He proposed a meeting in a neutral country, such as Switzerland, Turkey, or an Arab state, and suggested involving European nations and the United States to help establish a new security architecture.
