Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, President of Türkiye, has declared that ending the war in Ukraine is a top priority for Istanbul in 2025, the Turkish news agency TRT Haber reports, citing Erdoğan.

In his video address, the Turkish leader expressed hope for the start of a "new era" in the north.

"Our priority remains to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, who are our neighbors on the Black Sea, with a just peace. We hope a new era will begin in our north in 2025," Erdoğan stated.

Possible negotiations between Russia and Ukraine

The 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump, has repeatedly commented on the war in Ukraine. Among his statements, he claimed he plans to end the full-scale war in the country as soon as possible, even promising to achieve this "within the first 24 hours of his presidency."

However, experts say Trump's plan for ending the war in Ukraine is still being formed. The statements reported by the media are not considered the official position of the presidential administration.
