Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made a bold proposal for peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in an open letter, stating Ukraine's commitment to a ceasefire during negotiations. He emphasized that life without war is infinitely better, highlighting Ukraine's desire to end the ongoing conflict. This initiative comes as discussions among European leaders from Germany, France, and the U.K. are underway, exploring the potential for facilitating negotiations. Zelenskyy has suggested third-party countries such as Switzerland, Turkey, or Arab nations as venues for the talks, rejecting Moscow's involvement. Meanwhile, Putin has indicated a willingness to meet Zelenskyy only at the final stage of negotiations, dismissing calls for a ceasefire during talks. Analysts believe that while Zelenskyy's letter may increase the chances of resuming talks, achieving a peace deal in the near future is unlikely, given the differing goals of both leaders. The letter will also be shared with key diplomatic partners, including the United States.
