Donald Trump’s victory in the recent American presidential election, seems to have caused a “dominal developments” with several leader in the West lobbying the Ukrainian President to sit at the negotiating table with his Russian counterpart, . The war in Ukraine complements in a few months, three years of uninterrupted hostilities and as the Bloomberg news agency broadcasts, citing information from European officials, is increasingly evident that Volontimir Zelensky is being pressured to be forced into peace negotiations with Vladimir Putin. The fact that it cannot secure a decisive victory over the invasion forces, coupled with Donald Trump’s arrival at the White House and the “windows” talks with the Russian President, who leave open European leaders such as Olaf Salts and Emanuel Macron, are indications of the course of diplomatic and political contacts aimed at ending the war.

Everyone’s eyes are on the forthcoming G20 Summit in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil (18-19 November 2024), which will be the last in presidency Joe Biden and at which Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is expected to present his own proposal to end the war in Ukraine. Erdogan’s proposal Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s proposal provides, among other things, the creation of a demilitarised zone in eastern Donbas and the commitment that for a long time Ukraine will not join NATO. REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque/File Photo Analysts argue that with this proposal Erdogan wants to continue to “do business” with both Ukraine and Russia and to “sell rendition” to the newly elected president of the United States, Donald Trump, who has said that he will end this war before he even settles in the White House on 20 January, while playing Turkey as a “stabilising factor” in the region. Erdogan’s peace plan includes: – Creation of a demilitarised zone in eastern Donbas (where Russia has controlled significant areas since 2014) and installation of international troops there “as an additional guarantee”. – Ukraine “as a concession to Putin” will postpone the country’s NATO accession debate for at least 10 years. In return, Kiev will receive military assistance as compensation for the deal to stay out of alliance. According to Bloomberg sources, Erdogan’s proposal predicts a freezing of war in the current positions of both sides. Turkish officials believe it will be difficult for Ukraine to accept such an offer, but, in their opinion, “this is the most realistic approach”. Bloomberg agency also said Turkish officials “would like to postpone discussions on the fate of occupied territories in the long term and focus on ensuring a stable ceasefire.”
