Kremlin comments on Erdogan's talks with Zelensky

The relationships that Turkey is building with neighboring countries, including Ukraine, fall within the state’s sovereign right, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.

"As for the negotiations between President [of Turkey Recep Tayyip] Erdogan and President [of Ukraine Vladimir] Zelensky, these are the states’ bilateral relationships,” the Kremlin spokesman specified.

On Saturday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met with his Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir Zelensky in Istanbul.
