Turkey and Russia discuss peace efforts; Zelenskiy proposes meeting with Putin in Turkey this Thursday
Ankara, May 13, 2025 - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has expressed Turkey's readiness to host peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul. This development comes amidst ongoing diplomatic efforts to end the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Erdogan's statement was made during a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday, May 11, 2025 [1].Putin had previously proposed direct talks with Ukraine in Istanbul, aiming to achieve a permanent solution to the conflict. Erdogan welcomed Putin's proposal and stated that Turkey is prepared to facilitate negotiations that could lead to a lasting peace. Erdogan also emphasized the importance of a comprehensive ceasefire as a prerequisite for meaningful peace talks [1].
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has indicated his willingness to meet Putin in Turkey on Thursday, May 16, 2025, following a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump. Zelenskiy had initially responded guardedly to Putin's proposal but agreed to the meeting after Trump urged him to accept the invitation immediately [2].
The proposed talks in Istanbul are significant as they could potentially mark a turning point in the conflict. However, the success of these negotiations will depend on both parties' willingness to compromise and find common ground. Erdogan's support for the talks underscores Turkey's role as a neutral mediator in the conflict.
The international community has been urging Russia to agree to an unconditional 30-day ceasefire before any peace talks can proceed. The European powers, including France, have demanded that Russia agree to this ceasefire to avoid facing "massive" new sanctions [1].
The proposed peace talks come as the conflict continues to escalate, with both sides suffering heavy losses. The international community, including the United States, has been providing military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, while also pushing for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict.
