Volodymyr Zelenskiy hails support from Turkey, a key mediator in the war, as Joe Biden warns of perils of joining alliance during a time of conflict
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has secured Turkey’s crucial backing for Ukraine’s Nato aspirations, though Joe Biden said he did not think there was “unanimity” among alliance members that it should join during Russia’s invasion.
As the war entered its 500th day on Saturday, Zelenskiy hailed progress from talks in Istanbul with counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. He said: “I am grateful to Turkey for its constant support of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. I believe that, together, we can do even more, saving lives and protecting stability.”
