Russian President Vladimir Putin landed in Iran on Tuesday, his second foreign trip since his February invasion of Ukraine.

Mr. Putin will meet with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iran and Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey.

Grain exports, Syria, and Ukraine are among the topics to be discussed in Tehran, according to a Turkish official.

Since the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin has limited his overseas visits to former Soviet states.

Mr Putin made his first international trip since February in June, visiting Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, two former Soviet republics now ruled by authoritarian regimes who are Russian friends.
