Türkiye is liked by all participants in the negotiations, and the country’s leadership provides favorable conditions for continuing the dialogue between the different parties, the Telegram channel of the radio station Mayak reports.

Answering a question about possible talks between Putin and US President Donald Trump, Russia's Presidential Spokesperson Peskov noted that Türkiye is liked by all negotiating parties.

"Here I speak for our side. We are grateful to Ankara and the Turkish leadership for their efforts in helping to find ways to resolve the situation. We appreciate the conditions provided by the Turkish leadership for the negotiations. This attitude of ours will be maintained going forward," Peskov said.

Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan shared his plans to organize a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin in Istanbul.

Previously, the Hurriyet media outlet reported that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was supposedly preparing to organize a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Istanbul.

However, in reality, it was about a possible meeting between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy - this was the proposal Erdoğan made.

By the way, during the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia that took place in Türkiye last week, representatives of the Ukrainian delegation proposed organizing a meeting with all four leaders present - Zelenskyy, Putin, Erdoğan, and Trump.
