Zelenskyy Asks Putin for Talks
On Thursday, Zelenskyy wrote an open letter to Putin. This was his first letter since 2022. He asked Putin to meet and end the war. He said both sides should stop fighting first.
Ukraine is now stronger in the war. Its drones hit oil places in Russia. Russia has less money for the war. Britain, France, and Germany also want to help.
US President Trump said the meeting would be good. He said both sides must give. Putin said he is "willing" to agree. But Putin doubts Zelenskyy can sign a deal. The US voted to give Ukraine money.
