During a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Erdogan stressed the need for steps to ensure navigational safety in the Black Sea.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Türkiye is ready to support efforts toward a lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine, during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Erdogan stressed the need to take steps to ensure navigational safety in the Black Sea, a region that has seen significant disruption to shipping and trade routes since the start of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Türkiye's ongoing role
Türkiye has positioned itself as a potential mediator between Moscow and Kyiv at various points since the conflict began, leveraging its geographic position along the Black Sea and its diplomatic relationships with both countries.
The meeting between Erdogan and Zelenskyy adds to a series of diplomatic engagements aimed at addressing both the broader conflict and specific regional concerns such as maritime security in the Black Sea.
No further details on specific proposals or a timeline for renewed peace efforts were included in the initial report on the meeting.
