President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated in an interview with Sky News that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin must respond to his open letter to increase the chances of a ceasefire in Ukraine. This was reported by UNN.

According to the head of state, the letter sent to Putin was one of the few ways the two countries could communicate with each other, as Russian society "lives in some kind of fantastic world where they haven't attacked anyone, where this is not their war of aggression."
"That is why it is very important for me to speak openly about where we stand. They cut off the internet and many other things. We don't have many opportunities to send signals to this country,"
In addition, he commented on Putin's words regarding the "rude nature" of the letter.
"You haven't read the first version!"
He reiterated that he is ready to meet with the Russian dictator if the latter wants to stop the conflict.
