Turkey is ready to continue contributing to the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine. This was announced on October 18 by Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.

"Turkey can continue to make the necessary contribution to this cause [the conflict in Ukraine]. <...> I am ready to do my part at the leadership level," Fidan said in an interview broadcast on the department's YouTube channel.

It is noted that during the three rounds of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, important issues were discussed, including the exchange of prisoners and disagreements on the settlement of the conflict.

According to Fidan, after each round of negotiations, both sides allegedly prepare for "worst-case scenarios" and escalation of the conflict.

"It was important that they sat down at the same table and acknowledged, 'Yes, we are inside this dynamic, but we are also looking for peace.' These three rounds of negotiations have really played a huge role," Fidan stressed.
