MOSCOW, October 11. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Kazakhstan’s capital of Astana on October 13.

Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday that Putin and Erdogan would discuss Moscow-Ankara relations and the Ukraine issue.

"There’s some certainty, preparations for a meeting are underway," Peskov said, adding that the meeting would be held on Thursday.

According to the Russian presidential spokesman, the meeting’s agenda includes "Ukraine and bilateral relations, which are quite multifaceted, as well as a general exchange of views on the current developments."
