Turkish President Erdogan at a meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky emphasized Turkey's readiness to provide full assistance to complete the negotiation process with a sustainable peace and called Turkey “an ideal place for possible negotiations between Russia, Ukraine and the United States,” Turkish media reported.

“Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity are very important to us. Ukraine's territorial integrity is necessary for us in the follow-up process. Turkey is the ideal place for the US-Russia-Ukraine meeting,” he said.

Erdogan said that it was necessary to immediately end the war between Russia and Ukraine, which “has led to the deaths of many innocent people and huge destruction”.
