Russia dismisses open letter from Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenesky for negotiations with Putin, calls it 'PR stunt'

St Petersburg/Kyiv, June 9 (UNI) Russia's ambassador to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, has dismissed reports of Russian President Vladimir Putin had received an open letter from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling it "little more than a PR stunt" rather than being a genuine attempt to revive peace negotiations, reported Russia Today, a Russian state-controlled international news television network.
Zelensky published the letter last week after Putin reiterated that "Moscow remained open to diplomatic engagement with Kyiv". In the message, the Ukrainian leader accused the Russian president of wrongdoing and argued that a direct meeting between the two men could help bring the conflict to an end.
Speaking during a UN Security Council session on Monday, Nebenzia rejected the proposal, calling it another example of what he called Kyiv's "megaphone diplomacy".
