In the case of Ukraine, we believe that both sides have reached the limit of what they can gain by war

- Fidan said.

According to Turkey's top diplomat, it's time to start a ceasefire dialogue.

(Russian-Ukrainian war) This does not mean recognition of the occupation, but we believe that it is time to separate the issue of recognition of occupation and sovereignty from the issue of ceasefire

- said the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey.

The death and injury of more than 500,000 people and the complete destruction of the infrastructure and superstructure of the entire country is an unbearable reality for us
