Rubio said talks would continue over the weekend, when U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff travels to Russia. “There are a lot of moving parts, and obviously, there’s another party involved here (Russia) that has to be part of the equation, and that will continue this weekend when Mr. Witkoff travels to Moscow,” he said.

Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Oncu Keseli expressed concern on Friday about attacks on two ships in the Black Sea that were reportedly carried out by Ukrainian forces targeting Russia’s shadow fleet of oil tankers.
“These incidents, which occurred within Turkey’s exclusive economic zone in the Black Sea, pose a serious threat to the safety of navigation, life, property and the environment in the area,” Keseli said in a statement on Saturday.
