ISTABNBUL, November 7. /TASS/. The prolongation of the Ukrainian conflict leaves fewer and fewer options for diplomacy, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, according to Anadolu.

"The negativity, caused by the war in Ukraine gets exacerbated every day. The prolongation of the war leaves fewer and fewer options for diplomacy," Erdogan said.

"In the last few weeks, I met with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin; before that, I received the foreign minister of Ukraine. I conveyed to them our messages that the space for diplomacy must be reopened," the Turkish leader said.
