The head of State has already spoken with the leaders of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, and Iran, Ebrahim Raisi, and during the day he will also speak with the president of Egypt, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, as well as with Netanyahu and Abbas, Ushakov added.

Thus, before his visit to Beijing, Putin “will talk to the main countries involved in this conflict,” he noted.

“Naturally, he will express our assessments, and state our position. And he will listen to the relevant considerations of his colleagues,” Ushakov added.

The Kremlin spokesman noted that Putin is “closely following the unprecedented escalation of the Israel-Palestine conflict.”

“All issues related to this conflict are at the center of the president’s attention,” the Kremlin spokesman pointed out.

Ushakov recalled that the Russian leader had already spoken publicly on the issue, including during his recent visit to Bishkek.

“He discussed this situation with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed al Sudani, who was in Moscow last week.

Putin also spoke over the telephone with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Ushakov said.
