乌克兰总统泽连斯基周五访问土耳其，与土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安举行会谈。土耳其作为北约成员国，一直在努力平衡与基辅和莫斯科的紧密关系，并多次表示愿意充当两国和平调解人。土耳其政府官员表示，在伊斯坦布尔会谈期间，埃尔多安预计会推动结束俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争的谈判。这场战争已经进入第三年。
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was in Istanbul on Friday for talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose NATO-member country has sought to balance its close relations with both Kyiv and Moscow and repeatedly offered to act as a peace broker between them. During the talks in Istanbul, Erdogan was expected to press for negotiations to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, now in its third year, a Turkish government official said.
