Russian President Vladimir Putin will host a summit with his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in the Black Sea resort city of Sochi, Russia on Monday, the Kremlin has said.
“The talks will take place on Monday and will be held in Sochi,” Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters today.
The meeting marks a rare visit to Russia from the leader of a NATO member country since the start of Moscow's all-out war in Ukraine. Ankara is yet to confirm the date of the summit.
Turkey is expected to push for the restoration of the U.N.-backed Black Sea grain deal, which Moscow withdrew from unilaterally in July, as well as access to cheap supplies of natural gas.
