Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has indeed reaffirmed his stance on Ukraine. During the annual NATO summit, he emphasized that Turkey “will not be a party to this war” despite calls from U.S. President Joe Biden for greater NATO solidarity against Russia. Erdogan criticized Western allies’ strategy, advocating for dialogue and lasting peace rather than further bloodshed and suffering. Additionally, Turkey has supplied critical munitions to Ukraine, including Bayraktar TB2 attack drones, while also facilitating dialogue between Kyiv and Moscow. Erdogan’s support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty remains steadfast, and he has even proposed hosting a peace summit between Ukraine and Russia.
