Turkey hopes talks for a ceasefire in Ukraine will start soon, minister says

Turkey hopes talks for a ceasefire in Ukraine will start soon, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Sunday, at the end of a diplomacy forum in the southern city of Antalya.

"A dialogue for a ceasefire (in Ukraine) should start. That doesn't mean recognising the occupation (by Russia), but issues of sovereignty and ceasefire should be discussed separately," Fidan told a press conference.
