Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan said he had discussed possible ways to end the conflict in Ukraine with Russia’s Vladimir Putin during talks in China, and with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy by phone, but noted that the parties were "not yet ready" for a leaders' summit.
Speaking to journalists on his flight back from China, Erdoğan said he had met Putin and subsequently telephoned Zelenskyy. He recalled that recent discussions between Russian and Ukrainian officials in Istanbul demonstrated that a path to peace remains possible.
