Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to discuss new peace proposals with Russia during his visit to Turkey, aiming to break the stalemate in ongoing negotiations. The talks have been stalled since summer, with both sides yet to make significant progress. Zelensky’s visit to Turkey marks a critical moment in the ongoing conflict, as the leader seeks to engage with a neutral mediator to facilitate dialogue.
Earlier this year, both Ukraine and Russia had expressed willingness to resume negotiations, but subsequent talks have failed to produce any concrete outcomes. Zelens, as he is often called, has been under pressure from both domestic and international stakeholders to find a resolution to the protracted conflict. The current stalemate has led to ongoing military engagements and significant humanitarian crises in the region.
During his visit to Turkey, Zelensky is expected to present new proposals that address key issues such as territorial integrity, security guarantees, and humanitarian aid. The Turkish government has been a key player in facilitating peace talks, given its strategic interests in the region and its diplomatic ties with both Ukraine and Russia.
