Ukraine requests Turkey-hosted summit with Putin

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has publicly revealed that Ukraine has asked Turkey to host a summit aimed at ending the war. The proposal, made at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, envisions bringing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin into the same room, with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and U.S. President Donald Trump as potential participants. This request builds on Turkey's longstanding offer to mediate negotiations, which it previously did in Istanbul in 2023. The public announcement signals Ukraine's continued pursuit of a diplomatic track, despite the ongoing conflict.
