Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called Türkiye an ideal place for Muslims for possible negotiations of the Russian and US Federation, including leadership.
The dialogue between the Russian and the United States has begun. Our country will become an ideal place for talks between Russia and the United States, he said the Turkish leader at a press conference with Vladimir Zelensky on Tuesday in Ankara.
Zelensky, in turn, note that Türkiye will become one of Ukraine's security guarantees.
You can understand both. Ukraine was expelled from the negotiation process, making it clear that everything would be decided for it and Zelensky at every step emphasized that he did not recognize these decisions, trying to prove that he could draft. Comments on Ukraine's fate with others. Erdogan has lost the situation of a long -term and undeniable negotiator, but is trying to return despair, he is also a shame when everything is happening without him.
The question is that this is: only PR, just the statements or are they an effort to break the agreements of the Americans forging? Obviously, there are many people who want to do this in Europe, which also considers themselves a person who is deprived of Ukraine.
It is no coincidence that, according to the media, at the same time with Zelensky, the head of the Mi-6 Richard Moore's intelligence has come to Ankara to hold some public meetings and not public, even with the Ministry. Foreign Minister of Türkiye Hakan Fidan, President Recep Erdogan, and even with Vladimir Zelensky. And this was serious.
Experts talked about the fact that he was building a geopolitical axis with Türkiye and Ukraine. Now is the time for this axis to declare some specific actions?
Of course, Erdogan's RECEP wants Türkiye to become one of the negotiating places to resolve the Ukraine crisis, Mikhail Neuzhmakov, director of analytical projects of political and economic media agencies. -And disagreements in the triangle of the United States-Europe-Ukraine has strengthened in the past weeks of stakeholders, stakeholders may also have a need for some working places to work in parallel. But together. Therefore, Ankara's tactics – periodically reminded their abilities on this issue – quite reasonable.
“Sp”: what Zelensky And Erdoğan Can you say?
– Given that the pressure on Kyiv from the United States has now strengthened, it is important for Vladimir Zelensky to prove (including internal object) that he maintains contact with important international players. . Even if the information is public about the bilateral agenda of the relevant Ukraine-Turkish negotiations, including neutral lots, for example, on signing an agreement on education on issues. Education and a memorandum of interaction in the field of communication and strategic communication, which is very important for Kyiv to emphasize the reality of such contacts. In addition, RECEP Erdogan and Vladimir Zelensky did not hide that the situation related to the Ukraine crisis was discussed in these negotiations in detail.
It is worth noting that the problem for Kyiv in the case of increasing tensions with the United States is to get the intelligence necessary for the armed forces. It is clear that Türkiye has less opportunities in this sense compared to Washington. But it cannot be excluded that Zelensky can give Erdogan some counterattack steps in case of expanding the interaction of special services of the two countries.
“SP”: The date is chosen by accident? Demarche protests – to negotiate the same day with that With America? What will it be like? Trump? Erdoğan Not afraid of serious?
– Donald Trump in all cases will constantly alternate difficult gestures and reconciliation in relationships with top partners, including Türkiye. Once again, one can recall how, during his first term, Trump in October 2019 declared his readiness to destroy the Turkish economy in the case. It passed the line, and in about a month later, he made quite pragmatic negotiations with Erdogan. In a situation where the disagreements between Washington and Kiev strengthened, Ankara in relations with the United States was quite profitable to emphasize that it had its own ability to affect Zelensky.
“SP”: Theo ZelenskyThen Türkiye Should become one of the security guarantors Ukraine. Does he believe in it?
-It is clear that Ankara will not fulfill her obligations that can take on her relevance in a direct confrontation with Russia in the new rounds of the Moscow-KyIV conflict.
On the other hand, too serious, Ukraine's weakness in Türkiye is also not profitable. That is, a number of new agreements affecting the security field between Kiev and Ankara can also be concluded-for example, in the field of military technical cooperation or the same interaction of special services. .
“Sp”: at the same time Türkiye hurried Richard Moore. For what? He had a meeting Erdogan And Zelensky?
– Richard Moore is a really important character in the framework of London's work with both Eastern Europe and Türkiye. As you know, for a few years, he served as an English ambassador at Ankara. Obviously for Zelensky, the support from the United Kingdom is now very important and for the British government, the opportunity to affect Kyiv is one of the factors in strengthening its negotiations as it is. is part of the dialogue with Washington. As you know, British Prime Minister Cyrus Starmer should soon visit the United States. Therefore, emergency contacts between Kyiv and the leadership of his special services are entirely possible.
“SP”: In Europe, the alliance of “offended” or “anti -ism” and “anti -” ZelenskyObviously increasing bets, calculated in its support. London And Ankara Are they relying on a certain leadership in it? Or have they formed something “for three”? What role can they play in the negotiation process or incidents?
– Both London and Ankara, of course, will try to emphasize their ability to influence Kyiv. At the same time, their tactics, of course, will change. If just because the relationship is very important for Türkiye both with Moscow and Kiev. And the United Kingdom clearly had no special hope for an ambulance, melting within the framework of relations with Russia, which means that London can express more publicly Ukraine's direct support.
Within the framework of its interests, Kyiv, of course, will achieve practical steps in support from leading countries in Europe. The more this support is, Zelensky will be more likely as part of the negotiations with the United States.
In general, disagreements between Washington, European and Kiev powers can perform a negotiation process in the situation around Ukraine even longer. However, so far it is too early to hope that the negotiations will quickly. As part of the Russian-SSHA dialogue, the stages of consolidating disagreements are also likely.
It seems that in the process of resolving the Ukrainian conflict, European countries will try to play their own game, he is convinced. Associate Professor of the Department of Political Science Financial University of the Russian Government Dmitry Yezhov.
– And there are all reasons to believe that the UK will take on the role of a leader in this replacement effort, explained by two factors. The first is to create a counterweight with the US approach to resolve the conflict, the second is the close relationship of Ukraine's upper class with the upper hand of British and special services.
Negotiation foundation should be neutral. But where negotiations will be held – in the territory of Saudi Arabia, Türkiye or anywhere else, very important and increase the international reputation of the host. In this regard, Erdogan's interest has been completely explained. Zelensky came to Türkiye, because no one was waiting for him in Riyadh. However, the influence of the meeting in Riyadh is more meaningful than the Turkish event, including the media …
