Confidence-building between Russia and Ukraine such as exchanging war prisoners, is 'going well,' says Türkiye's FM Mevlut Cavusoglu
Cavusoglu also confirmed that there have been"backchannels" between the presidents of the two countries"since the beginning" in addition to negotiations between Russian and Ukrainian delegates.
"We have also been mediating to that end," Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Monday at a panel during the 17th Bled Strategic Forum in Slovenia. "After the disturbing images we saw from Irpin and Bucha, things have changed. But now, there are new realities on the ground. Unfortunately, some cities, other than the Donbass region of Ukraine, have fallen. We are talking about peace, but it has to be a mutually accepted one. But it has to be, at the same time, a fair peace for Ukraine ... the territorial integrity of Ukraine has to be essential," he added.
The Turkish minister continued by affirming that Ankara is engaged in separate and ongoing dialogues with both Kiev and Moscow, adding that his country has "good relations, of course, with both Russia and Ukraine."
