Russian President Vladimir Putin ​has been informed about an open ‌letter from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Izvestia news outlet ​on Friday.

“Yes, overnight, we already handed ​over (to Putin) the written version. What ⁠came from the media was ​passed on to the president, and he ​has reviewed it. The president has been briefed,” Peskov said

Zelenskiy published the open letter to ​Putin on Thursday in which ​he proposed the two leaders meet to agree ‌on ⁠an end to the war, warning that Kyiv stood ready to fight on otherwise.

He also taunted Putin, saying ​Russians were ​getting ⁠tired of both him and the war.

Peskov said it was ​very likely that Putin would ​comment ⁠on the letter during a plenary session at the St Petersburg International ⁠Economic ​Forum, where he is ​due to speak on Friday afternoon.
