Igor Zhovkva: "We are calm about Erdogan's talks with Putin"

According to the deputy chairman of the OP, Ukraine does not require additional mediation channels. The office of the President of Ukraine believes that the President of Turkey was and will be "on the side of Ukraine". "Yes, President Erdogan met with President Putin recently in Sochi. Does Erdogan President have the right to bilateral relations with the Russian Federation? Yes, he has. They had this relationship before. Therefore, there is no betrayal here.

Heads of the Presidential Office Igor Zhovkva: "Turkey has trade and economic relations with Russia, numbers at a fairly high level. This is a traditional Turkish policy. Does Erdogan raise Ukraine's question during conversations with Putin? Yes, it breaks. He also reports this directly to the President of Ukraine. Turkish President clearly stated that Turkey is on the side of Ukraine. Therefore, we are calm about these negotiations.

"Zhovkva, answering questions about Erdogan as a possible mediator, says that Ukraine does not require additional mediation channels. Unfortunately, the question when it happens is open. No one can answer this question now. And, unfortunately, the more important question is - at what price? Putin can stop the war by bringing his troops out of the Ukrainian territories, stopping the territory of Ukraine, no need for any intermediaries or contacts, "he says.
