Putin rejects Zelenskyy's offer to meet, saying he sees no point in it ... Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday rejected a proposal by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a face-to-face negotiation. Speaking at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Putin described Zelenskyy’s open letter proposing the meeting as “boorish,” particularly after a May 22 drone attack on a college dormitory in the Russian-controlled Luhansk region that Moscow said killed 21 and wounded scores of others.

It appeared to be an attempt by Zelenskyy to seize a pivotal moment in the war, as Ukraine has begun to regain some battlefield leverage through improved long-range strike capabilities, while Moscow has intensified its deadly aerial campaign across Ukraine.
