Thursday's meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan will take place in Kazakhstan, and according to Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov, the Turks are likely to bring up proposals for peace in Ukraine.
“Now many say that the Turks are ready to come up with other initiatives in the context of the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict,” Ushakov said.
“There are reports in the press that the Turkish side is putting forward specific considerations in this regard, I do not exclude that Erdogan will actively touch on this topic during the Astana contact. So a very interesting and, I hope, useful discussion awaits us.”
