Peace Steps Need To Be Taken As Fast As Possible — Erdoğa

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey on Monday discussed the war in Ukraine with Russia's President Vladimir Putin, along with regional and bilateral ties.

Erdoğan office said the president told Putin that peace needs to be established as soon as possible and confidence-building steps need to be taken on the war in Ukraine.

The office added that the president reiterated Turkey's willingness to keep doing its part for peace in Ukraine.

In a statement, it said Turkey is ready to resume a role in ending the war in Ukraine, including taking part in a possible observation mechanism after the first meeting with representatives of Russia, Ukraine, and the United Nations in Istanbul.

It also said there is a need for steps to minimize the negative effects of the war and re-establish the groundwork for peace.

Since the war between both countries started, Turkey is one of the most active countries working to ensure a permanent ceasefire as its act of assuming a role as a mediator with both sides provides a glimmer of hope to find a solution to the crisis.

Turkey has offered to mediate between the two sides and host peace talks, underlining its support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.
