Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has indicated that Turkey, Gulf countries, or European nations could potentially host peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Efforts to identify a suitable venue for a summit between Putin and Zelensky are ongoing, with possible host cities including Geneva, Ankara, and Riyadh, according to US officials cited by The Atlantic. However, some observers believe a meeting is unlikely without the involvement of former US President Donald Trump. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has discussed the peace talks with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, stating that Turkey is evaluating options and will fulfill its responsibilities in the peace process. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has also expressed Turkey's readiness to assist in facilitating high-level meetings between Russia and Ukraine.
