Initiatives Excluding Russia Will Not Yield Desired Results: Erdoğan

The initiatives for resolving the Ukrainian conflict that ignore Russia will not lead to desired outcomes, stated Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

“During our talks with the President of Estonia, we discussed the war in Ukraine. I once again emphasized that we support Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty. It is only through diplomatic means that we can quickly halt the devastation and achieve a fair and final solution,” Erdoğan declared at a press conference in Ankara with his Estonian counterpart on Thursday.

According to him, Ankara continues to work with the parties involved. “Initiatives excluding Russia will not yield desirable results,” Erdoğan added.
