Zelenskyy is pleased with the outcome of his letter to Putin

A series of diplomatic appeals to international leaders and institutions, along with an open letter to Putin, yielded the desired result. 

This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at a joint press conference with the leaders of Northern European and Baltic countries in Tallinn. 

The main goal of the open letter to the Russian dictator proposing a meeting in a third country was to clearly demonstrate to international allies which side is truly ready for a diplomatic settlement, and which is categorically not. In addition, the President announced that official letters had been sent to the EU, the U.S. Congress, and the U.S. President. In particular, the appeal to the American side set the task of shifting Washington’s focus from the Middle East to Ukraine in order to obtain additional anti-ballistic capabilities. Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that the necessary results have already been achieved in all these areas, but for security reasons, he cannot disclose the details of the agreements reached at this time.
