Erdogan has sought to play the role of peacemakers since the outbreak of the conflict. Speaking after a cabinet meeting, he said he hoped to organise a summit among leaders “to fully resolve this crisis”.
Both Kiev and Moscow have dismissed any prospects for a meeting between Putin and Zelenski in recent weeks. Last day, Russia's UN representative told the Financial Times that such a summit is unlikely to happen.
