Turkey supports Trump’s “decisive and direct initiatives” to end the war between the Russian Federation and Ukraine – Erdogan

This was reported by the Presidential Service of Turkey on Sunday, March 16.

“Having stated that regional and global events require intensification of consultations between Turkey and the United States on all issues, President Erdogan said Turkey supports the decisive and direct initiatives of President Trump to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, and emphasized that Turkey was a long time.

On March 6, the Reuters source at the Turkey Ministry reported that the country could take part in a potential peacekeeping mission in Ukraine after ceasefire.

On March 7, Turkish President stated that to achieve a just and stable peace between Russia and Ukraine, it is necessary to create “Strong diplomatic foundation ”that will allow the parties to start negotiations.

On March 12, Erdogan stated that his country wanted to see Russia’s constructive reaction to the US proposal about a 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine.

US initiative to cease fire in Ukraine

The 30-day ceasefire initiative was offered by US representatives during negotiations with Ukraine in Jedda in Saudi Arabia on March 11. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukraine is ready for a temporary truce if the Russian Federation agrees.

On March 13, the assistant of the Russian dictator Yuri Ushakov stated that the temporary ceasefire offered by the United States and Ukraine is “nothing more than a break for the Ukrainian military” and steps that “mimic peaceful actions” are not needed by Russia.

On the same day, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin declared Russia’s consent to cease fire in Ukraine, “but there are nuances.”

Donald Trump, commenting on a dictator’s statement, called Putin’s response “promising” but “incomplete. “

In his turn, Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that such an answer is manipulative and testifies to the preparation of Putin’s refusal to stop fire.
