Ankara, which has repeatedly called for a ceasefire from 2024, welcomed the US initiative to end the war, which was derailed by a public spat between the presidents of Ukraine and the United States on Friday in Washington.
On Sunday, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will brief European leaders on Turkey's efforts to find a "just and lasting peace" in the war, the source said, adding that he will also reaffirm Ankara's commitment to Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty.
Fidan is expected to "emphasize that Turkey, which hosted direct talks between Russia and Ukraine in March 2022, is ready to assume this role in the coming period" and stress that all parties should jointly focus on long-term regional security and stability, as well as economic prosperity during the negotiations.
