Erdogan and Trump discuss ending the war in Ukraine and Turkey's role
Published
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan discussed with U.S. President Donald Trump possible ways to end the war in Ukraine. The conversation also touched on the role Turkey is ready to play in this process.
Turkey is a NATO member and maintains relations with both Ukraine and Russia. That is why Ankara often acts as a mediator. The Turkish side has repeatedly stated that it is ready to facilitate dialogue between the parties to the conflict.
In 2022, negotiations between delegations of Ukraine and Russia took place in Istanbul. That same year, with the mediation of Turkey and the UN, an agreement was concluded on the safe export of grain from Ukrainian ports via the Black Sea. This experience is often recalled today when people discuss a possible role for Turkey.
The specific details of the conversation between Erdogan and Trump and the concrete proposals of Turkey are not specified in the brief report. The question of a peaceful settlement remains complex, and the next steps of the parties are still unknown.
