Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's open letter proposing a personal meeting and ceasefire, saying he saw no point in a meeting without comprehensive, long-lasting agreements, TASS reported on June 5. Putin added that Russia does not want another Minsk-style arrangement, referencing the agreements that granted pro-Russian, rebel-controlled areas of Ukraine's Donbas region limited self-rule, and repeatedly referenced the August 2025 U.S.-Russia summit in Anchorage, Alaska.
