Before the meeting

On January 20, 2021, the President of Turkey proposed to organize a face-to-face meeting between the Presidents of Ukraine and Russia, Vladimir Zelensky and Vladimir Putin, in his country. He noted that he would continue to maintain contacts with Putin “to ensure peace and stability in the region.”

On January 27, Erdogan said that Turkey would fulfill its obligations under NATO if there was a Russian invasion of Ukraine. According to him, “Turkey has always supported the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine.”

Recall, the President of Ukraine expressed gratitude to the Turkish leader for offering assistance in resolving the conflict in Donbas.

“For peace, we are ready to do everything possible on all platforms and in all formats. It doesn’t matter where we end the war, the main thing is that everyone is sincerely ready for this,” he said.
