President Volodymyr Zelensky and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan have agreed to continue peace talks, with Erdogan offering to host future negotiations in Turkey. The discussion took place in the lead-up to the Trump-Put, Putin summit on ending the war in Ukraine, which excluded Ukraine’s participation.
The call between the two leaders was a significant step in the ongoing efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, highlighting the growing interest from international actors in facilitating a peaceful resolution. While the Trump-Putin summit aimed to address the war in Ukraine, its exclusion of Ukrainian representatives raised concerns about the inclusivity of the peace process.
Both leaders emphasized the importance of dialogue and cooperation in finding a lasting solution to the conflict. With the war in Ukraine continuing to impact global stability, the involvement of additional nations such as Turkey could play a crucial role in shaping the future of peace talks.
