Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan would really like to organize a meeting between Zelensky and Putin. But not in order to surrender Ukraine to Russia, because Erdogan is interested in our victory.
This is the opinion of Channel 24announced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine in 2014-2019 Pavlo Klimkin. He also added that the organization of such a meeting would help Erdogan himself.
Erdogan wants to show that he alone can be a mediator between the West and the East.
Klimkin said that Erdogan wants to organize a meeting between Zelensky and Putin not to surrender Ukraine. He wants to start a dialogue and show that he is the only mediator between the West and Russia. In addition, Erdogan also seeks to resolve domestic economic issues.
Turkey needs a flow of grain. There inflation is 80%. During the war, we have inflation of just over 20%,” said the former foreign minister.
We need to use Erdogan's contact with Putin.
Klimkin also noted that we need to use Erdogan's contact with Putin. Not in the insidious sense of the word. The ex-minister is convinced that Erdogan told Zelensky Putin's words and position in Lvov. True, we will not hear this in the public plane.
“Erdogan is the right story. He is about Turkey. He is not pro-Russian, he is not pro-Western. He is building Turkey as a major global player,” Klimkin said.
Erdogan is emotionally with us
The former foreign minister added that Erdogan is emotionally from Ukraine. And he wants Ukraine to win.
He just won't speak in public. He will insist that you need to talk. We do it here, there, I can go to Putin. Psychologically and emotionally, his position is clear to us,” Klimkin emphasized.
To talk with Putin, we must have a strong position
According to Klimkin, to talk with Putin, Ukraine must have a strong position.
“I emphasize that you can only talk with this regime from a strong position. They understand only strength and nothing more,” the ex-minister said.
< p>Therefore, according to him, Erdogan can deal with the logistics of these negotiations in Turkey or elsewhere. But Ukraine, together with the West, must lead them from a position of strength.
