Erdogan will offer at the G20 summit to freeze the war and postpone Ukraine's accession to NATO - Bloomberg

Turkey is preparing a new plan for termination of hostilities, which, according to sources, will be presented during the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan proposes to fix the front line, create a demilitarized area in the Donbass and temporarily postpone the discussion of Ukraine's membership in NATO. Bloomberg writes about it.

On the eve of the G20 meeting, which will become the last President Joe Biden, approved the use of ATACMS long -range missiles for blows in Russia, including in the Kursk region, where Russian and North Korean troops are located. This decision, according to experts, should strengthen Kyiv's position before possible negotiations that may begin after Donald Trump's return to the White House in January. Zelensky will not be at the G20 summit. Brazil's President Luis Inasio Lula da did not invite him.

Instead, Putin decided not to go, stating last month that his presence would "break" the summit through a warrant for arrest, issued against him by an International Criminal Court. Bloomberg reminds that the "Peace Formula" of Zelensky provides a clear path to NATO membership and security guarantees until the time of entry. Erdogan, on the contrary, will propose to postpone discussions on the Alliance for at least 10 years as Putin's concession.

The plan of the Turkish President also envisages the creation of a demilitarized zone in the Donbass, where Russia has controlled significant territories since 2014. Erdogan will propose to place international troops there as an additional guarantee, as well as provide Ukraine with military supplies as compensation for the consent of not joining NATO. Turkish officials recognize that Ukraine will be difficult to accept such a proposal, but believe that this is the most realistic approach.

They seek to postpone discussions about the long -term fate of the occupied territories and focus on ensuring a stable ceasefire in the first place. Journalists say that this plan may appeal to some Kyiv allies who fear that Ukraine's full membership in NATO can lead to a direct conflict with the Kremlin.

Erdogan hopes that he will be able to persuade Zelensky to participate in peace talks in Istanbul, as he saw intelligence data, which indicate that Ukraine may allegedly lose much more territory over the next few months, if the fighting does not stop. We will remind, on November 15, German Chancellor Olaf Scholtz called Vladimir Putin for the first time in two years. He stated that he did not notice any changes in the views of the Russian leader in the war in Ukraine.
