According to Fidan, the diplomatic process has now effectively reached a deadlock, while hostilities are only intensifying.
We want the Russian-Ukrainian war to end as soon as possible through dialogue and on the basis of international law. At this stage, we see that the diplomatic process has stalled, hostilities have accelerated, and the parties have focused on seeking military gains
The head of Turkish diplomacy emphasized that the negotiation process must be revived as soon as possible.
In this context, I want to declare to the world community, just as we have already informed the parties, that we are ready to once again bring the delegations of Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table in our country
Earlier, Turkey has already served as a platform for negotiations between the Ukrainian and Russian sides, and has repeatedly stated its readiness to facilitate a diplomatic settlement of the war.
