While the world watches Ukraine, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan throws a shadow of hope—or maybe just diplomatic smoke—about a possible ceasefire and a summit of the warring leaders. Will Putin, Zelensky, Erdogan, and even Trump finally sit at the same table, or is this just another diplomatic show? Fidan confirmed that Moscow is ready for a third round of talks, but Ukraine remains silent.
Meanwhile, Fidan doesn’t hold back on Israel’s military operation in the Gaza Strip, calling it genocidal, as global rhetoric towards Israel shifts dramatically. Only a handful of countries, including the US, still unconditionally support Israel, while many are distancing themselves from that support.
Turkey, frustrated with the stalled EU accession talks, is eyeing BRICS, where it has gained partner status but has yet to make a final decision on full membership. Fidan emphasizes that Turkey today is a voice many want to hear on the international stage, but the road to peace and reforms remains thorny.
All in all, while the world spins in circles of negotiations, the war in Ukraine continues to claim lives, and political games go on. Will the leaders really sit down at the table, or will it all remain empty words? Time will tell, but one thing is clear—the world can’t wait forever.
