Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for face-to-face negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin in an open letter aimed at ending the more than four-year-long war. Zelenskyy proposed holding talks in a neutral country such as Switzerland, Turkey, or an Arab state and suggested a full ceasefire during negotiations. He also advocated an “all-for-all” prisoner exchange and the return of civilians and children taken during the conflict. Former U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed the proposal, saying both sides would need to make compromises. The initiative marks a renewed diplomatic push amid ongoing fighting and mounting war fatigue. (PC: The Guardian)
