The two leaders “exchanged views on the Europeans’ aspirations, namely, to orchestrate a massive swindle with Russian assets, and there was also a thorough exchange of views on the issue of Ukraine,” Peskov revealed after the meeting held in Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan.

According to the spokesman, the presidents agreed that attempts to seize Russian assets “would destroy the Bretton Woods system and all the foundations and principles of the international financial system.”

He added that regional and international issues were also addressed during the meeting.

Putin and Erdogan maintain constant contact and believe that bilateral relations are progressing positively in all areas, Peskov noted.

“In general, there are some issues, but no significant problems between us,” he added.

The Russian leader has a standing invitation to visit Türkiye, and the trip will be arranged when possible, he concluded.
