Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in his scheduled speech with Russian President Vladimir Putin, intends to propose continuing peace negotiations with Ukraine. At least that is what a source within Erdogan's government told the Russian state media service RIA Novosti.
"Mr. Erdogan will offer to mediate the resolution of the conflict, reiterating the view that no one will emerge victorious from this war and no one defeated from the process of achieving peace," the source said.

Ankara reportedly supports a ceasefire in Ukraine and the start of new negotiations to end the war. The source contacted by RIA Novosti called Erdogan the "only world leader" who enjoys the "sincere trust" of Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, maintaining contacts with both presidents of the war. The Turkish report added that the Turkish president is "doing everything to bring peace to the region".
Background of the meeting
As the Kremlin reported last week, the heads of Russia and Turkey agreed to decide the exact place and date of the meeting in the near future. The agenda of the discussion includes talk of their bilateral relations, the crisis in Ukraine and the Black Sea Grains Agreement, from which Moscow has withdrawn.
The Russian leader said he discussed with Erdogan the possibility of a personal meeting, not rejecting the possibility that he might visit the Turkish president in his country. During the Turkish election, Putin did not visit Erdogan to avoid influencing voters.
Putin's adviser on international affairs, Yuri Ushakov, confirmed that Moscow and Ankara were planning a visit by the Russian president to Turkey, but the two sides could not agree on specific dates.

Russia's RIA Novosti stresses that Moscow has repeatedly expressed its readiness for negotiations with Ukraine, but the Kiev regime has banned them at the legislative level. As the Russian Defence Ministry itself has previously noted, the situation with Ukraine can only be resolved if territorial changes, i.e. the Russian army's conquests in the country, are taken into account.
It goes without saying that this is of no interest to Kiev, since - at least for the time being - Zelensky is optimistic that his army will succeed in recapturing the territories annexed by the Russian army to the Russian Federation, such as, for example, part of Donetsk in the eastern part of the state.
