Erdoğan assesses success chances of US-Ukraine peace plan

Erdoğan stressed that achieving a lasting peace in Ukraine remains one of the key priorities of international policy.

He noted that he had repeatedly discussed the Ukrainian issue with US President Donald Trump and believes that any settlement must be fair and should not create a losing side.

"At the moment, the question is whether the proposed peace plan will be taken as a basis. Is it possible to reach an agreement on this plan? Yes, it is possible. But how? This still needs to be resolved. If the plan meets the legitimate expectations and security needs of the sides, without creating new instability, an agreement will be possible," Erdoğan said.

According to him, reconciliation through negotiations on agreed issues, provided there is a framework that satisfies all sides.

"The launch of talks on proposals that pave the way for a just and lasting peace will have a positive impact on this process," he added.

He also reaffirmed Türkiye’s readiness to act as a mediator again, as it did during previous rounds of diplomacy.

US peace plan for Ukraine

Last week, it became known that the United States had drafted a peace plan for Ukraine. It includes 28 points outlining proposals for a new format of negotiations on Russia’s war against Ukraine.

As reported, US generals visited Ukraine last week, where they worked with the Ukrainian side to coordinate elements of the peace plan. Over the weekend, Ukraine and the United States continued work on the document in Geneva.

More on what is currently known about the plan’s conditions and Trump’s deadline can be found in the material by RBC-Ukraine.

Türkiye has been deeply involved in peace diplomacy: key rounds of Ukraine–Russia talks took place in Istanbul, and the grain initiative was also agreed there.

Ankara consistently positions itself as a country capable of maintaining an equal dialogue with Kyiv, Moscow, and Western partners.
