Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mariya Zaharova made a statement about the telephone conversation between President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the weekly press conference.
“WE ARE GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE”
Stating that they are grateful to President Erdoğan for the steps he has taken for peace between Ukraine and Russia, Zaharova said: “The world, which understands what the collective West is imposing on the entire planet, is increasingly actively supporting peace, a peaceful scenario, a peaceful solution, as we have been doing for many years. We are grateful to everyone without questioning the sincerity of all offers in this direction. This is a very important message about moving towards peace at a time when the collective West is making endless aggressive statements aimed at escalating tensions, continuing to procure weapons and supporting terrorist activities. That’s why we are grateful to everyone. “This also applies to the initiative of the Turkish side and the President of Turkey, Mr. Erdoğan himself,” he said.
