Turkish Foreign Minister Discusses Ukraine With Russian Deputy Prime Minister
Hakan Fidan says reaching an agreement on the conflict remains difficult but that diplomatic efforts must continue
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said he discussed the situation in Ukraine with a Russian deputy prime minister, according to a report by the Russian state news agency TASS.
Fidan was quoted as saying that reaching an agreement on the conflict "appears to be a very difficult task," but he added that efforts to find a resolution must continue.
TASS did not specify further details of the conversation, including which Russian deputy prime minister was involved or when the discussion took place.
Turkey has positioned itself as a mediator in the Russia-Ukraine conflict since the start of the full-scale war in 2022, hosting several rounds of talks between Russian and Ukrainian officials in Istanbul.
The remarks come amid ongoing international efforts to broker a settlement to the conflict, which has continued for more than three years.
