Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a phone call on Friday to discuss regional developments, with particular focus on the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Syria, according to a statement released by the Kremlin press service.
During the conversation, President Putin reiterated Russia’s position in favour of a political and diplomatic resolution to the war in Ukraine. He expressed gratitude to President Erdogan for Türkiye’s efforts in facilitating direct talks between Moscow and Kyiv, particularly during earlier stages of the conflict. The Kremlin noted that Putin emphasised Russia’s openness to dialogue, provided that its core security concerns are taken into account.
Turning to the situation in Syria, both leaders agreed on the urgent need to stabilise the country, which remains mired in years of conflict and foreign interventions. They highlighted the importance of advancing national reconciliation through inclusive political dialogue and supporting efforts to strengthen internal unity. The Kremlin said both presidents shared the view that lasting stability in Syria could only be achieved through cooperation that upholds the country's territorial integrity and sovereignty.
The call reflects the ongoing coordination between Moscow and Ankara on a range of regional security issues, despite their differing stances in both Syria and Ukraine. Türkiye, a NATO member, has maintained diplomatic ties with both Russia and Ukraine throughout the war, positioning itself as a key mediator in previous negotiations and prisoner exchanges.
No specific outcomes were announced following the call, but the Kremlin described the exchange as constructive and said both sides agreed to continue high-level consultations on regional matters in the near future.
