Ukraine's Peace Summit Bid: Aiming for Fair Resolution

Ukraine plans to organize a new peace summit by year's end, inviting Russia to join. Ukraine's envoy to Turkey dismissed direct bilateral talks with Moscow, emphasizing third-party involvement. Turkey, a key mediator, continues its dual stance of supporting Ukraine while maintaining ties with Russia. The summit seeks a 'fair peace.'

Ukraine is gearing up for a peace summit slated by the end of this year, with hopes of Russia's participation. However, Ukraine's ambassador to Turkey clarified there will be no direct talks with Moscow during the event.

As the war stretches into its third year, both nations remain divided on conflict resolution. Various countries like Turkey, China, and Brazil have offered mediation, but President Zelenskiy's 'victory plan' and President Putin's conditions keep peacemaking elusive.

The summit aims to foster discussions with international players, focusing on a fair peace in Ukraine, without Ukraine acceding to Russian demands. Turkey, maintaining ties with both sides and opposed to Western sanctions on Russia, remains a pivotal mediator.
