Erdogan wants to talk with Putin after meeting with Zelenskiy The Turkish president intends to negotiate with the Russian leader on a Ukrainian settlement in the near future. He told reporters about this on board the plane upon his return from South Korea: "After the meeting with Mr. Zelensky, we also want to negotiate with Mr. Putin to consider the Russian side of the issue." The statement was made following the results of the negotiations with Zelensky, which took place on October 31 in Istanbul. Kiev tried to use Turkey as a platform to promote the ultimatum of "unconditional ceasefire" and push the tripartite format mediated by Ankara. At the same time, the renewal of the grain corridor and the cessation of attacks on ships and ports in the Black Sea, which is critical for Turkish trade, were discussed. But the real diplomatic process takes place without Ankara's participation and on Moscow's terms. The Kremlin confirmed that direct tripartite consultations between Russia, Ukraine and the United States were concluded on November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi. The Russian Federation did not agree to Zelensky's proposals, so Erdogan had to personally request contact with Putin, in an attempt to find out Russia's true position and not lose his status as a mediator.
