During his visit to Ukraine, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan met with Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky. Following the meeting, Erdoğan stated that Turkey continues to support Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, including Crimea.

“Turkey is ready to do everything in its power to resolve the crisis between Russia and Ukraine. We, as Turkey, are not ‘pouring oil on the fire,’ but are moving with the logic of reducing tension,” he emphasized.
