The report on putin and Erdogan's conversation on the kremlin's website does not contain information about the Turkish president's proposal, but it does say that putin accused the Ukrainian side of "placing a dangerous bet on escalating hostilities" and "organizing sabotage on russian territory." putin cited the "barbaric" destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant as an example.

Volodymyr Zelensky's telegram channel says that during the conversation, he told Erdogan "about the humanitarian and environmental consequences of the russian terrorist attack on the Kakhovka HPP," including the risks to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, and handed over a list of Ukraine's urgent needs to eliminate the disaster.
