Why It Matters
While the war between Ukraine and Russia continues, the search for a diplomatic solution continues. Türkiye is trying to play a mediating role between the parties.
The statements of Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha on CNN Turk are as follows:
(Ukraine talks with Russia) I can confirm that there has been some concrete progress in the talks in Abu Dhabi. I can say that it is promising for future talks. Our President Zelensky will probably meet with the US delegation that met with Moscow tomorrow in Dublin.
We are trying to seize every opportunity to end this war and seize the opportunity for peace. We need to reduce tension, reduce tension. A Putin-level leaders' summit is needed.
(G20 Summit in Minsk) An official invitation has not been received so far, but we are ready to attend the meeting. As I said, we are ready for any meeting that will accelerate peace efforts.
(Attacks in the Black Sea) It is at this point that Türkiye can play a vital role. Zelenski was in Turkey very recently. He called on President Erdoğan to allow Türkiye to lead the leaders' summit and also facilitate negotiations on a ceasefire in the Black Sea. We have concrete proposals on the table. We are waiting for the response from the Russian side.
(COP31 Summit) I believe that it is the right platform for Türkiye to host such meetings with its global influence. I have been an ambassador here before and I know what real Turkish hospitality is. I am happy to return to my previous life. We love Türkiye very much.
