The presidents discussed holding a third round of negotiations between Moscow and Kiev during a phone conversation

Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke to his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, by phone. The leaders discussed the Ukrainian conflict, as well as the recent escalation in Syria, according to a statement published by the Kremlin on Friday.

According to the statement, Putin and Erdogan touched on the possibility of holding a third round of Russia-Ukraine negotiations in Istanbul. The sides met for two rounds of direct talks in Türkiye earlier this year, rebooting discussions that Kiev had unilaterally abandoned in 2022 to pursue military victory with Western assistance. At their most recent meeting in June, the negotiators exchanged draft proposals outlining visions for a potential peace deal and agreed on further prisoner exchanges. Moscow has since confirmed its readiness to continue the talks.
