Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan says that while a potential peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia would be difficult to accept, it would be preferable to more death and destruction. Turkey has maintained good relations with both countries and supports Ukraine's territorial integrity. Fidan also expresses support for a US initiative to end the war in Ukraine, but acknowledges that a deal is still far off. He emphasizes the need for security guarantees for Ukraine and the involvement of the US in providing support. Turkey's role in regional security has increased as the prospect of ending the war grows, making it a potential partner in Europe's security restructuring.
