The Kremlin on possible talks

There are no concrete plans yet for talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. At the same time, he suggested that such a contact could be organized fairly quickly if necessary. This was reported by Life.ru.

The reason was Erdogan's request

Peskov's comment came after Erdogan expressed a desire to hold talks with Putin on the situation in Ukraine. According to the outlet, the Turkish president intends to discuss this issue after his contacts with Volodymyr Zelensky, which took place in Istanbul on October 31. Thus, at this point we are talking about Ankara's stated intention and Moscow's readiness to consider organizing a meeting, not an agreed agenda or dates.
