# Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has called for a face-to-face meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin in a renewed effort to end the war. This comes as Moscow has intensified its deadly aerial campaign in Kyiv, with Monday’s combined missile and drone strikes killing at least 22 people. In a letter, Zelensky stressed that peace shouldn’t wait until the US turns its attention from Iran to the Ukraine-Russia war. Putin says he is prepared and willing to reach an agreement with Ukraine, but compromises need to be made.
