Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov announced earlier on the 29th that Putin will meet with Erdogan. The two sides will discuss bilateral and international affairs face-to-face, and then have a working breakfast to “continue exchanges.”
Peskov said that this meeting means Putin ends self-isolation.

The Kremlin said on the 14th that Putin’s entourage had a new crown case, and Putin was subsequently tested for the virus to confirm his health, but will self-isolate for a period of time. During the quarantine period, Putin will not hold face-to-face events, but will work online at normal intensity. Putin had previously received two doses of the “Satellite V” new crown vaccine developed by Russia.
