Türkiye is reaffirming its role as a diplomatic center in the Russia–Ukraine war, with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan telling President Vladimir Putin that Ankara pushes for a just and lasting peace.
Türkiye’s Communications Directorate said the two leaders discussed the ongoing war, as well as several regional and global issues.
President Erdoğan emphasised that Ankara is ready to support any diplomatic initiative that could bring the parties into direct contact and potentially bring a sustainable resolution to the conflict.
This renewed message comes as Erdoğan expands Türkiye’s international mediation role. Speaking on the sidelines of the G20 Leaders’ Summit on Sunday, he said Türkiye would step up its engagement in peace efforts globally, from the Middle East and Africa to the war in Ukraine, highlighting Ankara’s growing influence in major geopolitical crises.
Erdoğan also confirmed that he plans to speak further with President Putin about reviving the Black Sea grain corridor.
He said those efforts were always aimed at creating momentum for wider peace talks, calling them “a path towards peace” that could be restarted with the right conditions.
The Turkish president added that he intends to come to Istanbul with Putin if progress can be made, and that Ankara will “leave no stone unturned” to help stop the loss of life caused by the conflict.
He said, “Many people lost their lives,” and noted that he would discuss the necessary steps with Putin in order to prevent further deaths. He also intends to speak with European partners, Mr. Trump, and other allies about the situation.
Despite stalled diplomacy elsewhere, Ankara is determined to revive talks that could finally bring Russia and Ukraine together.
