Türkiye is continuing with its efforts to bring Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky together to launch diplomatic negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, Turkish Foreign Minister said.

According to Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, Vladimer Putin had told Turkey’s president during their meeting in Uzbekistan last week that Moscow was ready to resume negotiations with Ukraine but had “new conditions” for a cease-fire.

The minister didn’t elaborate on the conditions.
