The Ukrainian president tells Vladimir Putin in an open letter: ‘If you do not personally come to the conclusion that it is time to end this war, Ukraine will continue fighting for its existence.’ Photograph: Ukrainian presidential press service ‘You can stop your war’: Zelenskyy’s open letter to Putin – in full Russians are increasingly tired of the conflict and the time to end it is now, Ukraine’s president tells his Russian counterpart in an open letter Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in an open letter to the Vladimir Putin, has called for a face-to-face meeting with the Russian president to end his war against Ukraine. The letter sets out Zelenskyy’s view of the four-year-old conflict and says that while Ukrainians’ resilience remains intact, most Russians have grown weary of its effects and are ready for peace. The Ukrainian president has rarely addressed Putin directly, but has repeatedly called for a meeting with him, saying it is necessary for any agreement on territory. Putin has previously ruled out such direct talks, falsely calling Zelenskyy an “illegitimate” leader and saying he would meet him only to finalise a deal agreed beforehand. Here is the full text of Zelenskyy’s letter, which is published on the president’s website and his office says has been sent to other countries including the US. 4 June 2026 – 21:20 Open Letter To the President of the Russian Federation From the President of Ukraine When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past. Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometres. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities. Ukrainian drones hit St Petersburg as ‘Russian Davos’ opens in city Read more For 26 years, your time in power has completely changed the agenda of relations between Ukraine and Russia. From discussions about trade and other civilian matters, our nations have moved to talking almost exclusively about strikes and losses. You have spent nearly half of your 26 years in power in Russia waging war against Ukraine. Whatever you may say about Nato, geopolitics, or the Russian language, this war is your personal choice – a war without a real cause. That is how history will remember it. Those years could have been very different. We often hear that you are comfortable with this war. Of course, not in those cases when it comes to the security of your residence in Valdai or your parade in Mosc

Henry Nowak deserves legacy that goes beyond tragedy, says PM 6 minutes ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google BBC Sir Keir Starmer has paid tribute to Henry Nowak saying the 18-year-old "deserves a legacy that goes beyond this awful tragedy". The prime minister said he was "profoundly humbled" to meet the university student's family at Downing Street on Thursday afternoon and was determined to do everything "in our power to prevent other families from suffering such a devastating loss". There has been widespread outrage after bodycam footage showed police officers putting 18-year-old university student Nowak in handcuffs as he lay dying, after his killer Vickrum Digwa claimed he had been the victim of a racial attack.

Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk (right) beat Russia's Mirra Andreeva when they met in last month's Madrid Open final By Jonathan Jurejko BBC Sport tennis news reporter at Roland Garros Published 6 minutes ago Russia's war in Ukraine will provide an unavoidable backdrop to the French Open women's singles semi-finals. Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk faces Russia's Mirra Andreeva on Thursday with their respective nations still deep in conflict. Kostyuk, 23, has been one of the most prominent Ukrainian athletes to regularly denounce the war since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched what he called a "special military operation" in February 2022. Last week, Kostyuk described how a missile hit a building just 100m from her family home in another wave of Russian attacks on Kyiv. "The biggest thing I can do is sit here and talk about [the war] so more people can find out about it and don't get used to this terrible life," Kostyuk said after beating fellow Ukrainian Elina Svitolina in the Roland Garros quarter-finals. Andreeva, 19, has consistently attempted to deflect any discussion about the war and did the same again before playing Kostyuk. "It doesn't matter who I play. I really try to play against the ball that is coming at me," said Andreeva, who is playing in her second French Open semi-final after reaching the same stage in 2024. "It doesn't matter to me who I'm playing against, so I'm trying to really focus on the game and on the gameplan that I have to use on the court." Sabalenka crumbles in French Open quarter-finals Published 13 hours ago Qualifier Chwalinska extends dream French Open run Published 12 hours ago Kostyuk, seeded 15th, and eighth seed Andreeva will meet in an important match for the second time in a matter of weeks. In their Madrid Open final last month, Kostyuk won 6-3 7-5 to claim the biggest title of her career. There was no customary handshake between the pair afterwards, due to a stance taken by Ukrainian players when Russia's full-scale invasion began four years ago. It barely needs saying it will not take place at Roland Garros either. If Kostyuk beats Andreeva for her 18th consecutive clay-court win, she could go on to face another Russian - Diana Shnaider - in Saturday's final. Shnaider, 22, reached her first major semi-final by shocking Belarusian world number one Aryna Sabalanka, who has previously condemned the war which her nation has backed . Before Shnaider played Ukraine's Oleksandra Oliynykova in the third round, she was accused by her opponent of supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Oliynykova's accusation was largely based on Shnaider playing in a St Petersburg exhibition event sponsored by Gazprom - the state-owned Russian gas company. "I think it's the same as playing in Nazi Germany for Gestapo officers, on the tournament organised by company which built Auschwitz. There is no difference for me," Oliynykova said. After the match Shnaider defended her decision to play in Ru
