Zelensky says Putin 'choosing war again' by rejecting call to meet

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday slammed his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin for rejecting a call for a face-to-face meeting to discuss ending their four-year war.

"Unfortunately, the Russian side is choosing war again -- everyone heard today's response. A weak response. He simply doesn't want to end the war," Zelensky said after Putin said he saw "no point" in meeting the Ukrainian leader.
