Zelenskyy Says Ukraine Open to Türkiye Hosting Trilateral Peace Talks
The Ukrainian president said Kyiv would welcome a leaders-level summit held in Türkiye as part of efforts to end the war with Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country is “very open” to the idea of Türkiye hosting trilateral peace talks aimed at ending the war with Russia, according to Anadolu Agency.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine would support a summit bringing together leaders at the highest level, pointing to Türkiye’s standing bilateral relationship with Kyiv as a factor that could support such a gathering.
The Ukrainian leader highlighted the strong ties between Ukraine and Türkiye, as well as shared interests in Black Sea security, as reasons the two countries could work closely together on diplomatic efforts to end the conflict.
Türkiye has previously positioned itself as a potential mediator in the Russia-Ukraine war, having hosted earlier rounds of talks between the two sides and maintaining working relationships with both Moscow and Kyiv.
Black Sea security has remained a central issue throughout the war, with both Ukraine and Türkiye holding significant interests in maintaining safe shipping routes through the region.
No timeline was given for when any such trilateral summit might take place, and further details on the proposal were not immediately available.
