  Erdogan, Biden discuss Russia-Ukraine war 

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a phone call with his American counterpart Joe Biden to discuss the latest developments in Ukraine and several other issues, AzVision.az reports citing Turkish media. 

During the call, the two leaders discussed bilateral ties as well as the Russia-Ukraine crisis, according to a statement by the Communications Directorate.

Erdogan explained to Biden the importance of Turkey playing a facilitative role in the search for a solution to the Russia-Ukraine crisis in the event it deepens further.

The recent tripartite meeting between Turkey, Russia and Ukraine's foreign ministers in Antalya is a victory in itself, he underlined.

Erdogan has been striving to facilitate diplomacy to put an end to the ongoing war, which has devastated the lives of innocent civilians in Ukraine.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba held a trilateral meeting with Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu as part of the Antalya Diplomacy Forum on Thursday.

Unfortunately, Kuleba said the talks made "no progress" on achieving a cease-fire to the fighting that has caused 2.2 million refugees to flee across Ukraine's borders.
