04.06.2026 ⇢ The Day Zelensky Wrote Putin an Open Letter

Editors uniformly led with Zelensky's open letter to Putin proposing direct talks to end the war, linking long-range strikes on Russian territory with a ceasefire and security guarantees from the EU and US. The letter dominated evening coverage across Glavcom, Pravda, UNIAN, TSN, Kyiv Post, and Ukrinform UA.
Earlier, the day opened with military updates: 279 clashes on the front, a strike on a Russian border ship in Crimea, and Syrskyi's warning that Russia plans to increase jet drone attacks to 50%. Hungary lifted its veto on EU accession talks, and Ukraine proposed a missile-swap deal with Germany for Patriots. By afternoon, US Congress moved to push aid against White House resistance, and Russia intensified air attacks, finding ways to bypass air defenses.
