Diplomacy, not victory in battles: Turkey told how the war in Ukraine will end

According to Turkish Foreign Minister, there is a risk of delaying hostilities for decades. During the last meeting of negotiators in Istanbul, the parties, he said, were close to the ceasefire, but unexpectedly intervened "magic hands". The war in Ukraine will end with a diplomatic way, not victory at the front. This opinion was expressed by Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Chavushaglu at a conference in Ankara, dedicated to the foreign policy of Turkey, writes Daily Sabah.

Chavushoglu emphasized Turkey's efforts in mediation between Ukraine and Russia. "One way or another, this war will end at the negotiation table. We do not think that it will end in military success on Earth. Nevertheless, there is a risk that the war will be delayed for decades," the official suggested. Chavushoglu noted the emergence of "new reality in new conditions" compared to March, when the last round of negotiations of delegations of Ukraine and Russia through Turkey took place in Istanbul.

The situation, according to the minister, is complicated, but it is impossible to lose hope. Mevlut Chavushoglu mentioned two -day peace talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegations and commented on them as follows: "In fact, when we gathered in Istanbul, the parties were very close to the ceasefire. But here we intervened" magic hands ", we saw the parties departed from the table" .

According to Turkish Foreign Minister, President Recep Erdogan has become the only leader in NATO, who meets both President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky and with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "Being a NATO member does not mean that we cannot meet Russia or other countries. We need to maintain a balance," Chavushoglu said. Recall that Erdogan responded positively about Moscow's decision to withdraw troops from Kherson. The Turkish leader considers this step to end the war in Ukraine.
