'Diplomatic Channels on Ukraine Settlement Have Been Reactivated': Turkish Expert

The recent Putin-Witkoff-Kushner talks "can be called a critically important step toward building a future global security architecture," international relations expert Tuba Çebi told Sputnik.

🗣"These contacts at the Kremlin demonstrate that the parties, although they have not yet reached a definitive peace agreement, are willing to continue dialogue and rebuild trust through humanitarian issues."

🕊 On Humanitarian Diplomacy
Putin's proposal to organize a new humanitarian mission to Konstantinovka is part of humanitarian diplomacy aimed at fostering a constructive approach to negotiations, Çebi underlined.

🚫 Russia's Stance on Foreign Troops
Moscow clearly designates the potential deployment of foreign military contingents on Ukrainian territory as a direct threat to its national security and a legitimate target, the expert pointed out.

"If the goal is a durable and sustainable peace, Ukraine's future status should be shaped by a neutral, realistic legal formula that balances the security concerns of the parties."
