Turkey's leader hints at Trump's special role in Ukraine peace talks
Turkish president suggests ex-US leader could quickly resolve Ukraine situation through diplomatic means. Current approach with weapons and military aid doesnt match Turkeyʼs vision of peaceful resolution
Tayyip Erdogan shared his thoughts about Ukraine war resolution during his plane-ride chat with news-people after his Budapest visit: the conflict needs a fresh solution-based mindset.
We can easily end this war if we see a Trump administration that approaches the issue with a solution-based perspective; more dialogue diplomacy agreement will open the door to peace not weapons bombs and conflict
The ex-US leader promised quick results during his pre-election talks saying he could fix everything in just 24 hours - though he didnt explain much about his ideas for ending this biggest land-based fight since WW2
The current US team led by Joe Biden keeps sending heavy-duty military stuff to Ukraine; meanwhile Turkey plays a multi-sided game:
- Backs Ukraineʼs right to its land
- Says no to anti-Russia rules
- Keeps good ties with Moscow (defense energy tourism)
- Works as a peace-maker between sides
Since early-spring Turkey has been pushing for peace talks showing its skill at getting both sides to sit down together - something Erdogan says they did before and can do once more. The Turkish leader thinks Western countries should speed-up their work to end this whole thing: “This needs to stop now we put all our work into making peace happen and weʼll keep doing that“
