Russian President Vladimir Putin is scheduled to meet Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Monday, according to a statement released by Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.
The meeting, set to take place in Moscow, comes at a critical time for both nations, as they navigate a complex web of regional conflicts, global realignments, and strategic energy interests.
While no official agenda has been released, analysts expect discussions to cover a wide range of pressing issues — including developments in the Middle East, the situation in Ukraine, the Black Sea grain corridor, and economic cooperation between Ankara and Moscow.
Turkey has maintained a delicate diplomatic balancing act, acting as a NATO member while preserving strong ties with Russia. Ankara has previously played a mediating role in negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, particularly in brokering grain export deals crucial to global food security.
Fidan’s visit may also touch on energy matters, with both countries cooperating closely on gas supply and the construction of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant in southern Turkey — a flagship joint project.
