Türkiye has reiterated its readiness to play a leading role in efforts to secure a just and lasting peace in the Russia-Ukraine war.
Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz said on Wednesday, in a statement on the Turkish social media platform NSocial, that he had joined online the 5th Leaders’ Summit of the Coalition of the Willing, hosted in hybrid format by French President Emmanuel Macron. Yılmaz has previously represented President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at four such meetings.
“During the meeting, diplomatic initiatives launched by US President Donald Trump to achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine were discussed. Türkiye once again underlines that we are ready to take the lead in every field to secure lasting peace. Diplomacy and dialogue between the parties must be the priority. Until a just peace is achieved, we will continue to support the diplomatic process with all our means,” Yılmaz stressed.
His remarks came in the wake of last month’s Alaska summit between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Negotiations on reaching a ceasefire and preparing a summit between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are still ongoing.
Since the start of the war in February 2022, Türkiye has stood out as one of the few countries maintaining good relations with both Moscow and Kyiv, taking an active and unique role in mediation efforts.
