Ukraine’s acting president Volodymyr Zelensky issued [a lengthy open letter](https://www.president.gov.ua/en/news/vidkritij-list-prezidentu-rosijskoyi-federaciyi-vid-preziden-104769 ) to Russian President Vladimir Putin on June 4, timing its release with Putin’s press conference at the SPIEF meeting. The content and modus operandi of the letter carry all the telltale marks of having been concocted in the MI-6 psyops kitchen—like most of Zelensky’s career.
A mixture of attempted taunts, threats and lies, Zelensky’s letter stated 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 kilometers.” Asserting that “You have spent nearly half of your 26 years in power in Russia waging war against Ukraine,” Zelensky then tried to brush aside the actual causes of the current conflict: “Whatever you may say about NATO, geopolitics, or the Russian language, this war is your personal choice.”
Zelensky then claimed that “the ratio of Ukrainian losses to Russian losses is one to five or one to six,” and that “we receive support. You receive sanctions… And today you are fully dependent on China.”
Advising Putin that “after 26 years in power, age is beginning to take its toll. And with time, the fatigue with you will only grow,” and therefore the two men should meet to end the war. But Putin’s agreements with President Trump in Anchorage last year should be thrown in the trash, Zelensky asserted. “We have heard that you were promised in Alaska the resolution of certain issues concerning Ukraine and Europe. But you can see for yourself that Ukrainian and European issues are not decided in Anchorage… We believe Europe should be part of this process—those who truly have the capacity to influence the situation.”
Zelensky script concluded with a threat: “If you do not personally come to the conclusion that it is time to end this war, Ukraine will continue fighting for its existence. We will have those who support us. But you, too, will have to fight much harder for your own existence—not Russia’s, but your own. And this is not a threat from me or from Ukraine. It is a fact of Russian history that you know well: when Russia grows tired, change comes. We can work toward that fatigue.”
