Putin-Erdogan talks

During a meeting in Ashgabat, Putin and Erdogan noted that there are "no significant problems" in relations between the two countries.

On the EU's attempt to seize Russian assets

The EU's actions aimed at confiscating frozen Russian assets will lead to the collapse of the Bretton Woods system "and all the foundations and principles of the international financial system."

Putin and Erdogan discussed the EU's attempts to perpetrate a "grandiose fraud" with Russian assets.

The two leaders paid considerable attention to the situation surrounding the frozen Russian assets in Europe.
