ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan will discuss the latest developments in the Russia-Ukraine war with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Monday during his visit to Ankara, a Turkish official said on Sunday.

Russia struck Ukraine with a new hypersonic medium-range ballistic missile on Thursday in response to Kyiv's use of U.S. and British missiles against Russia, marking an escalation in the war that began when Moscow launched a full-scale invasion of its neighbour in February 2022.
