According to Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for the Kremlin, “the two Macron and Shaltes have recently showed any readiness to listen to the perspective of the Russian side and participate in any mediation efforts.”
Ankara is taking a different stance from Paris and Berlin, he continued, and it has indicated its willingness to continue mediating the conflict.
During the weekend, Russian Defense Secretary Sergey Shoigu called his American, French, Turkish and British counterparts.
Shwigo shared with his coworkers that “there were worries about potential provocations by Ukraine deploying a “dirty bomb.”
Soon after, the capitals of Washington, London, and Paris released a statement in which they stated that “our nations have made it plain that we all reject the bogus assertions of Russia that Ukraine is planning to use a dirty bomb on its soil.”
He added: “The world will see, through any attempt to use this claim, an excuse for escalation, we reject any pretext to escalate by Russia.
As a prominent mediator, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sought to maintain communication channels with Russia and Western nations on the Russian military attack.
It also had a significant impact on the two agreements that Moscow and Kiev have reached since the attack began.
The United Nations-sponsored agreement that was reached in July with the help of mediation from Turkey permitted grain exports to resume.
Erdogan also took part in a September prisoner exchange that was regarded as one of the biggest exchanges.
Regarding the Ukrainian situation, the Kremlin plays the role of Paris and Berlin.
