In an address to the Russian and Ukrainian delegations at the talks, the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the parties to agree on a ceasefire.
Erdogan stated that Turkey does not play a mediating role in the meetings, but it helps to facilitate the agreement.
Negotiations between the delegations from Moscow and Kyiv have been taking place since Russia announced the launch of a "special military operation in Ukraine" on February 24, 2022. Despite more than a month, the clashes between the two countries are still continuing.
