Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had a telephone conversation with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during which they discussed the results of the Russian-Ukrainian talks held in Istanbul on 2 June this year. This was reported by a source in the Turkish Foreign Ministry.

“Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had a telephone conversation with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio today [3 June – ed.],” a Turkish Foreign Ministry source said (quoted by RIA Novosti).

According to the source, during the telephone conversation, the sides discussed the steps taken to end the armed conflict in Ukraine and the results of the talks held in Istanbul.

We shall remind you that earlier the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitriy Medvedev, said that the negotiations on the settlement of the armed conflict in Ukraine were needed for Russia’s early victory rather than for the search for compromises.
