Türkiye's foreign minister will reiterate at Sunday's meeting of European leaders in London an offer from Ankara to host peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, a Turkish diplomatic source said on Saturday.
On Sunday, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will brief European leaders on Türkiye’s efforts to find a "fair and lasting peace" to the war, the source said, adding he will also affirm Ankara's commitment to Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty.
Fidan is expected to "underline that Türkiye, which hosted direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in March 2022, is ready to take up this role in the coming period", and emphasise that all parties must jointly focus on lasting regional security and stability, as well as economic prosperity, in negotiations, the person added.
