JOHANNESBURG, Nov 23, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Sunday he would speak with Russia's Vladimir Putin Monday just days after the US unveiled a controversial plan to end the Ukraine war.

"Tomorrow I will have a phone call with Mr. Putin," he told a news conference at the G20. "We will do whatever we can to pave the way for peace."
