Ukraine War: Erdogan, Putin to meet Thursday
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin later this week in the Kazakh capital of Astana, a Turkish presidential source said on Tuesday.
The meeting between the two leaders is scheduled for Thursday on the sidelines of an Asian security summit, the source said.
Messrs Erdoğan and Putin will discuss “the idea of holding talks between Russia and the West,” Turkish.
Local media reported that 11 leaders are expected at the summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA).
Ukraine is not on the list.
Since Moscow invaded its neighbour in February, NATO member Turkey has positioned itself as a mediator between Ukraine and Russia.
While Ankara has criticised Moscow, it has refused to join Western sanctions.
