Zelenskiy Calls for Ceasefire, Proposes Talks with Putin Under US Monitoring

In an open letter, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy directly appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin, urging an end to the ongoing war. Zelenskiy proposed a bilateral meeting between the two leaders and expressed Ukraine's readiness to agree to a ceasefire under the monitoring of the United States during potential negotiations.

The letter, made public by a source, represents a significant diplomatic overture from Kyiv. The proposal for US-monitored talks suggests a framework that could potentially de-escalate hostilities. No immediate response from the Kremlin has been reported.
