  • On June 5, Putin said he "briefly" read the proposal and "never refused" to meet, though he remained against "engaging in pointless talk" and "saw no point" in direct negotiations.
  • Earlier in May, Zelenskyy invited Russian businessman Roman Abramovich to Kyiv, attempting to persuade Putin to agree to direct peace talks, according to reports from the Financial Times.
  • Zelenskyy stated his outreach to the United States aimed to shift attention from the Middle East to the situation in Ukraine, while suggesting a full prisoner exchange could be a prologue to ending the war.
