Russia-Ukraine war: Turkish president promises to advocate for peace as Astana summit gets under way

Erdogan has stated that despite the challenges on the ground, Turkey will continue to advocate for peace between Russia and Ukraine.

“Our goal is to continue the momentum that has been achieved and bring an end to the bloodshed as soon as possible,” the Turkish leader said in his address to the summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia. The summit is being held in Kazakhstan’s capital, Astana.

Erdogan was referring to agreements that Turkey helped broker which allowed Ukrainians to resume grain exports and led to a prisoner swap between Ukraine and Russia.

“We are all closely experiencing the effects of the crisis in Ukraine on a regional and global scale,” he said. “I always say that a just peace can be established with diplomacy, that there are no winners in war and no losers in equitable peace.”

Turkey has retained close ties with both Moscow and Kyiv during the war and has repeatedly offered to organise peace talks between the two sides.
