Doha: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan discussed bilateral relations and the ongoing war between Moscow and Kyiv in a phone call Tuesday with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

According to Qatar News Agency, during the call, Erdogan affirmed his country’s readiness to host a leaders’ summit between Russia and Ukraine, noting that the formation of working groups in the military, humanitarian, and political fields will pave the way for the summit. He also stressed Turkiye’s continued support for Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
