ISTANBUL (AA) – Poland has proposed that Türkiye take an active role in initiating Russia-Ukraine peace talks, said the Polish premier on Wednesday in the Turkish capital.

At a joint press conference with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara, Donald Tusk said Türkiye and Poland have wanted peace since day one of the Russia-Ukraine war, adding that Warsaw welcomes the talks held in Saudi Arabia this week.

Following their meeting at the presidential complex with high-level discussions of bilateral and global issues, Erdogan told reporters that Türkiye and Poland are key allies positioned on the eastern and southern flanks of NATO, commanding the alliance's two largest ground armies in Europe.
