Turkish President Erdogan and US President Trump may discuss initiatives for negotiations on Ukraine in New York, RIA reports citing sources

Turkey has recurring form as an intermediary in the Russia-Ukraine file, having hosted earlier rounds of talks and positioned itself as a channel both sides will use, so an Erdogan role in any renewed negotiation push follows an established pattern rather than a new one. What has historically moved markets in this file is not talk of talks but concrete sequencing: named delegations, a venue, a ceasefire framework, or movement on sanctions and grain or energy transit. Headlines pointing toward de-escalation have tended to pressure front-end crude and European gas risk premium and soften gold and the dollar's haven bid, with the move typically fading when no communique follows; the reverse applies on breakdown. The tells are whether either side confirms the meeting on the record, whether the Kremlin is brought into the loop, and whether anything emerges on the sanctions or energy enforcement track. As a single-source, conditional headline, the burden of confirmation sits with follow-up reporting.
