The war started by Russia may spread geographically beyond Ukraine. This was stated by Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan during the first plenary session of the Global Peace Summit, an UNN correspondent reports .
Geographically, the war may spread beyond Ukraine. We already see polarization at the global level. This war has the risk of using weapons of mass destruction. Today we are here in an effort to avoid these risks and to put an end to the war. We have the Ukrainian formula for peace in front of us and Russia has recently shared some conditions
According to him, the Peace Summit could be the last step before a global break.
We believe in the importance of a more holistic, diplomatic strategy to implement the measures that have already been planned. From the very beginning, Turkey has been actively involved in the peace process. The Istanbul talks and the Black Sea Grain Initiative have made some progress. Turkey is always ready to contribute to the process
