Russia-Ukraine: Erdogan calls on Putin to make 'honourable exit' from war

[Uncle Joe]

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to make an "honourable exit" from the war in Ukraine, as the conflict continues to rage.

Speaking to reporters in Brussels during a Nato summit on Thursday, the Turkish president said he would be talking to Putin at the weekend to try and convince him to end the fighting in Ukraine.

“I will look for ways to end this issue by telling him to become an architect for peace and make an honourable exit,” Erdogan told the journalists who accompanied him.

He added that Ukraine and Russia had reached a partial understanding on four of the six areas of disagreement.

6. Yes, this is a must. Nt

2. I think Putin needs to be tried for crimes against humanity and pay reparations

Where is justice for the terrorized, maimed and murdered?

3. Somewhat agreed on? What does that mean?

Somewhat agreed on:
• NATO: Putin - Ukraine can't join NATO. Zelensky - GFY
• Partial disarmament: Putin - Ukraine must disarm. Zelensky - GFY
• Collective security utin - Ukraine must be part of Russia. Zelensky - GFY
• Russian language: Putin - Ukrainians must speak Russian. Zelensky - GFY

4. My take is,

they believe those are four things; a more detailed agreement can be reached on.

Ie; Russian to be an official language of Ukraine but it doesn't have to be the only one.

5. It's how I would have responded.

7. Percentage of ukrainians speak their own language

Is more than 67%. Why does russian need to be the official language? Thats BS IMO.1¹

[Uncle Joe]

8. If Ukraine had two official languages,

that would cover almost 100% of Ukrainians.
