Zelensky Explained Why He Wrote An Open Letter To Putin

Kiev is ready to fight back.

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has said that a recent series of strikes deep into Russian territory will continue, reports Sky News.

The publication reported that earlier this week Kiev launched a series of strikes on the city of St. Petersburg, which was hosting a major economic forum. In addition, other strikes were carried out hundreds of kilometers from the Russian-Ukrainian border, unian.net wrote.

"Ukraine has mastered, studied and manufactured many different missiles and drones. We will not just die in silence. We will fight back. We will grow stronger every day," Zelensky said.

According to the Ukrainian president, Vladimir Putin listens to the words of Kiev and its allies only when there is "total pressure."

Zelensky noted that recent attacks have demonstrated: Ukrainian drones will strike Russian cities and large population centers, not just remote villages.

"We will return their war to their territory," Zelensky added.

In addition, the Ukrainian president said the Kremlin chief should respond to his open letter to increase the chances of reaching a ceasefire agreement in Ukraine.

In a conversation with Yalda Hakim, the Ukrainian president said that the letter, sent to the Russian president on Friday, is one of the few ways in which the two countries can establish a dialog.

It is noted that in the open letter, Zelensky suggested a direct meeting between him and Putin to end the war.

The publication reported that when briefly commenting on the letter during an event at an economic forum in St. Petersburg, Putin said he had "glimpsed" the document from the Ukrainian president, but added that he saw "no point" in meeting with him.

When asked about his "audacious" letter, Zelensky initially responded with a smile: "You didn't read the first version!"

Subsequently, explaining the letter, Zelensky said:

"I sent an open letter because I don't know if he will read it. An open letter means that he has to answer us about what is important for his society, because his society lives in some fantasy world where no one is attacked, where it is not a war of aggression. It's not serious. That's why it's very important for me to be open about where we are. They've shut down the internet and a lot of other things. We don't have many opportunities to send signals to this country, the aggressor country. They brought this big war to our country. They have to stop."

Zelensky emphasized that Putin is now "not so loud" about the war because of Moscow's losses on the battlefield. He reiterated that he is ready to meet with the Russian president if he wants to end the conflict.
