Erdogan to present proposal to G20 to freeze Ukraine conflict along current lines — Bloomberg – World

NEW YORK, November 18. /TASS/. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will present a proposal to freeze the Ukrainian conflict along the current front lines at the Group of 20 summit in Rio de Janeiro. Bloomberg reported on Sunday, citing sources.

According to them, the Turkish leader will present his proposal on Monday at the G20 leaders’ meeting. Erdogan will suggest that Vladimir Zelensky agree to postpone discussions on his country’s NATO candidacy for at least 10 years, they added. In addition, the Turkish proposal envisages establishing a demilitarized zone in eastern Donbass and placing international troops there.

Turkish officials view the approach as the most realistic, although they acknowledge that it will be difficult for Ukraine to accept this, Bloomberg concluded.

The G20 summit will be held in Brazil on November 18-19. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov represents Russia at this event.
