Turkey to repeat offer to host Ukraine-Russia peace talks at London summit
ANKARA – Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will reiterate Ankara’s offer to host peace talks between Ukraine and Russia at a meeting of European leaders in London on Sunday, a Turkish diplomatic source said on Saturday.
NATO-member Turkey hosted initial talks between the two sides months after the conflict erupted, helping secure a deal for the safe passage of grain exports in the Black Sea. It has said any future peace talks must include both countries.
The meeting, hosted by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, will focus on recent developments in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and broader European security concerns, with the participation of representatives from Ukraine, Turkey, Germany, France, Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Finland, Sweden, the Czech Republic, and Romania, as well as NATO and the EU.
