Turkish Foreign Minister: President of the Russian Federation in a conversation with Erdogan announced the possibility of resuming negotiations with Ukraine, but in the light of new realities
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu spoke about the talks held in Samarkand between the Russian and Turkish leaders. Recall that the SCO summit was recently held in this city of Uzbekistan, where Recep Tayyip Erdogan also flew.
According to Mevlut Cavusoglu, during the talks between the presidents, there was also talk about the possibility of resuming Russian-Ukrainian negotiations.
Cavusoglu:
After that, the head of the Turkish Foreign Ministry spoke about the fact that every day the resumption of negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv is becoming more and more difficult.
The new realities in this case probably mean the holding of referendums in the liberated territories. Recall that the holding of plebiscites ends on September 27. To date, they have been recognized as valid in all the territories where they were held. Thus, more than 75% of registered citizens voted in the DPR and LPR, and more than 50% in Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.
Turkey understands that after the referendums, Russia will already rule out the issue of “returning” the territories of Donbass, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions to the jurisdiction of Kyiv. The reason is simple - these regions in the coming days can officially become part of the Russian Federation based on the results of referendums.
