He pointed out that it is necessary for the international community to act unitedly on this issue.
Fidan also pointed out the need to end the war in Ukraine within the framework of the territorial integrity and political unity of Ukraine.
In addition, he stated that it would be a strategic mistake to keep Turkey’s EU membership process separate from other candidate countries.
