What is Russia saying about the Ukrainian president’s letter to his Russian counterpart?

Ukraine’s former foreign minister said the letter is addressed not only to Putin but also to US President Donald Trump, Ukrainian society, and Europe, while analysts asserted that it is also a statement pointing to Putin’s failures. But what is Russia saying about the letter and Zelensky’s offer? Peskov: Come to Moscow No responses from Putin yet as of early Friday afternoon, but his spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Zelensky to come to Moscow if he wants a one-on-one with Putin. “President Putin has said that if Zelensky wants to talk, he can come to Moscow and do so,” Peskov said, according to Chinese state media Xinhua. Peskov did confirm that Putin has read the letter, but declined to share Putin’s thoughts by telling state media TASS that he “won’t get ahead of [himself].” Peskov’s statement signals a return to a harder stance after earlier signs of flexibility. Following the May 9 Victory Day parade, Putin said he thinks the war is “moving toward its end,” while claiming that he is open to meeting Zelensky in a third country after final agreements have been reached.
