Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has responded to an open letter from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed to him. He expressed his opinion during a speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Russian media reports.

Putin said that the letter was shown to him by press secretary Dmitry Peskov. He noted that he had skimmed its contents this morning.

“A few things I would like to draw attention to: he mentioned my age. What can I say? Everyone should think about age… Some political figures are older than me… But the main thing is not age, but capacity and ability to work,” Putin said.

According to the Russian dictator, a Russian businessman met with Zelensky in Kyiv on May 21. Putin said that the Ukrainian president allegedly told the businessman that he wanted a personal meeting with the Russian leader.

“What does this mean? They ask for a meeting, but they themselves strike,” the Russian dictator added, recalling the strike on a dormitory in Starobilsk, which took place on May 22.

Putin also said that Zelensky’s letter contains “elements of rudeness.” According to him, the purpose of this letter is to create conditions that make their meeting impossible. However, the Russian dictator himself said that he is not going to meet with Zelensky:

“I don’t see the point of us meeting, the point of the Ukrainian side is to stop our offensive, and we need agreements. Before meeting with Zelensky, we need to find a solution to resolve the conflict.”

The Russian dictator also stated that the Russian Federation “will seek the denazification of Ukraine.” According to him, the hostilities will end after Russia achieves its goals.

Summarizing his remarks regarding the letter, Putin addressed the occupiers:

“Work, brothers.”
