The Russian president says Tehran has made genuine efforts to end the war while noting a 'positive evolution' in relations.
Russian President Vladimir Putin pledged on Thursday to use all available means to help end the Middle East conflict during a meeting with Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian, according to Russian media reports. The leaders of the two sanctioned nations met in Turkmenistan ahead of a Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) summit.
Putin stated that Iran had made genuine efforts to resolve the war since the US-Israeli attacks began on February 28. The two countries have strengthened their diplomatic and military ties since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
