Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed optimism about the prospects for peace in Ukraine after talks with Vladimir Putin in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, Turkey’s Anadolu news agency reported.
Erdogan told reporters on the side of the plane that Ankara also hoped to talk to U.S. President Donald Trump to assess a potential peace plan.
“After this meeting with Putin, we hope to be able to also discuss the peace plan with US President Trump. Peace is around the corner; we see it,” Erdogan said, referring to his bilateral meeting with Putin in Turkmenistan on Saturday.
Speaking about regional security, Erdogan warned against turning the Black Sea into a confrontation zone. “The Black Sea should not be seen as an arena of rivalry. It will not benefit Russia or Ukraine. Everyone needs freedom of navigation and security in the Black Sea,” he said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has noted the efforts of the Prime Minister of Israel to find ways to peace.
The Israeli “Prime Minister, Minister [Naftali] Bennett, is trying to find a negotiating path with Russia, and we are grateful for every effort for us to start talking with Russia, sooner or later,” Zelensky said in a video address early on Monday.
“Possibly in Jerusalem. This is the right place to find peace, if this is possible,” Zelensky said.
Zelensky recalled that he spoke on Sunday in the Israeli Knesset, but, he noted, “spoke on your behalf with the people of Israel, who understand us as free people of free people.”
He said, “Israel has its interests and a strategy of protecting its citizens, we understand all that,” Zelensky said.
