Türkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is expected to travel to Kyiv on Thursday for a two-day visit, following a series of high-level meetings in Moscow.
The talks are aimed at reviving peace efforts to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, according to a Turkish Foreign Ministry source.
In Kyiv, Mr Fidan is expected to hold talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Defence Minister Rustem Umerov, who is leading Ukraine’s negotiating team in the peace process, as well as several high level diplomats.
Türkiye's foreign minister met with Russian President Vladimir Putin and other senior officials, including chief negotiator Vladimir Medinsky, during his visit to Moscow early this week.
Türkiye, a NATO member, has maintained open channels with both Moscow and Kyiv since the start of the war. It played a key role in earlier negotiations, including hosting the first direct talks between the two sides in Istanbul.
According to the Turkish Foreign Ministry source, Mr Fidan will once again propose Türkiye as a venue for future peace negotiations, stressing Ankara’s readiness to support diplomatic initiatives aimed at ending the war.
But beyond peace efforts, Fidan’s meetings in Kyiv will also cover bilateral cooperation in trade, energy, security, and defence. He is expected to reaffirm Türkiye’s commitment to contributing to Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction.
Though no ceasefire was reached during this month’s Istanbul meeting, both delegations agreed to a mutual exchange of 1,000 prisoners of war and presented written proposals outlining the conditions for a possible ceasefire.
While a concrete timetable or location for further talks has not been set, Ankara continues to position itself as a key mediator and potential host for future negotiations.
