Volodymyr Zelenskyy frequently visits Turkey because he does not feel pressured by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and is not as wary of him as he is of U.S. President Donald Trump, who openly and forcefully asserts his position on Ukraine. This was reported by pro-government Turkish media.<\/p>\n
In the first ten months of 2026, Zelenskyy visited Turkey three times: Istanbul in April and October, and Ankara in July, where he took part in events held as part of the NATO summit. During his April and October visits, he held talks with Erdoğan, discussing, among other issues, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and prospects for a peaceful settlement. In addition, the two leaders met on September 24 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.<\/p>\n
According to the reports, meetings with Trump are accompanied by pressure, while European leaders, despite expressing support for the Ukrainian president, are effectively urging him to continue the war.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
