Everything is developing so quickly in the Russia-Ukraine war, making it hard to read the parameters to conduct a precise analysis

The Turkish government adopted a dynamic approach toward the Ukraine crisis. Its purpose is to shelter the country from the war’s repercussions and to contribute to a policy with the potential to promote peace.

With the events unfolding in Ukraine, the U.S. has managed to consolidate its global position as Europe fails to prevent its decline in world politics

In the event of major crises, world wars – horrible tragedies that devastated mankind – inevitably come to mind.

'The current pace and direction of the events indicate that Russia will come out of the war isolated, weaker and more vulnerable'

Russia made certain maximalist demands under the pretext of national security. Judging by the way that the U.S. and the EU managed the crisis, there was no attempt to stop Moscow’s imminent attack either.

The Turkish government's new diplomatic initiative with its regional and global partners is based on logic, while the opposition still has no idea why it rejects the process

If the Ukraine crisis enters a new chapter, Erdoğan’s most recent visit to Ukraine, together with Putin’s upcoming trip to Turkey, could initiate a process of de-escalation. Indeed, the Russian leader could convey a new message to the Western alliance by agreeing to mediation by Turkey, a NATO ally.

Turkey, which did not recognize the annexation of Crimea, supports Ukraine’s territorial integrity. At the same time, it wants Russia and Ukraine – countries, with which it has cordial relations – to resolve the Donbass crisis through negotiations.
