Erdogan proposed to restore Ukraine and Russia's negotiations in Istanbul

Turkish President Recep TaiP Erdogan on Thursday, August 18, said Ankara is ready to become a mediator in the negotiations of Ukraine and Russia. About it reports Ukrinform with reference to briefing following the negotiations of President Vladimir Zelensky, UN Secretary General Anthony Guterrish and Erdogan in Lviv. Video of the Day "We have indicated separately the international community to restore the diplomatic process. I hope the war will finally be completed at the negotiating table.

Zelensky and Guterrish agree with that. The point is to determine the shortest and fair path to the negotiation table, ”Erdogan says. According to Turkish President, negotiations in Istanbul can be restored "on the principles that were formed in Istanbul in March", and Turkey "is ready to play the role of mediator again.

" During a briefing, Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine's negotiations with Russia's country are possible only if Russian troops leave illegally occupied Ukrainian territories. Prior to that, the Ukrainian President said that negotiations are impossible because Russia did not want to end the war and decided to completely destroy Ukraine.

At the end of June, the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak said that a peace treaty with Russia is possible when Ukraine will restore its territorial integrity. The head of the negotiation delegation with Russia, David Arahamia, reported that Ukraine will be able to renew peace talks with the Russian Federation when it strengthens its forces through a counter -offensive and when the invaders will return to positions on February 23.
