Last March, Istanbul witnessed talks between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations at the Dolmabahce Presidential Palace, following Turkish diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the war and bringing peace between the two sides of the crisis.
On February 24, Russia launched an attack on Ukraine, followed by international rejection and severe economic sanctions against Moscow, which required Kyiv to abandon plans to join military entities to end its operation and remain neutral, which the latter considers an “interference” in its sovereignty.
