Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan have called for an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East war during a phone call, reports AFP, citing a Kremlin statement.

“The leaders noted their shared positions on the need for an immediate ceasefire and the development of compromise peace agreements that take into account the legitimate interests of all states in the region,” the statement said.

“It was noted that intense military action is leading to serious negative consequences not only regionally but also globally, including in the areas of energy, trade, and logistics,” the Kremlin added.
