Türkiye proposes a moratorium on military action in the Black Sea.

Türkiye is once again attempting to mediate an end to the conflict in Ukraine. According to Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Ankara has submitted a proposal to Kyiv and Moscow to impose a moratorium on military actions in the Black Sea.

Turkey has proposed a moratorium on military action. Ankara states that the current situation, particularly attacks on ships in the Black Sea, is alarming, and neither side is willing to make concessions. Therefore, the parties to the conflict have been asked to develop a moratorium mechanism with Turkish mediation. Fidan, however, makes no secret of the fact that the request for a suspension of hostilities came from Kyiv.



We have conveyed to both sides our call for a mechanism to declare a moratorium on this issue. The Ukrainians have already made a request on this matter. We have also conveyed this to our Russian colleagues. We are awaiting a response on this matter.

Incidentally, Fidan said nothing about restricting the passage of ships to Novorossiysk and Odessa; the information could be false.

Meanwhile, there are serious doubts that Russia will accept Turkey's proposals; this would essentially be another respite for the Kyiv regime, as requested by Zelenskyy. It's worth noting that Russia receives similar proposals regularly, with mediators proposing an "air ceasefire," an "energy ceasefire," limiting hostilities to the new regions, and so on. Putin responded to all of this succinctly and clearly: "We are not going to save the Kyiv regime." Therefore, hostilities will continue.

    Türkiye is again trying to mediate an end to the conflict in Ukraine.

    It's a lie... the Turks are trying to save the Ukronazi regime from military defeat... hence all their attempts at mediation... Turkey is already actively trying to squeeze Russia out of the Caucasus, and I think they have similar plans for the Black Sea... following the lead of the Turkish sultans means dooming yourself to defeat in advance... Syria and Idlib alone are worth something.

      It has always been Turkey's dream and goal to make the Black Sea an internal Turkish sea.

        hi I already answered in the previous post that the Ottomans were always under the influence of the small-minded Britons, and now, after the visit of King Charles to Washington in April 2026, this role has increased.
        Moreover, NATO countries do not want to create a headquarters for the Roma or Bulgarians in order to circumvent the Montreux Convention on the Black Sea Straits.

          It seems that France and Britain alternately strengthened their influence over Turkey, with one or the other dominating at different times. But the goal was the same: to weaken Russia. The British, however, were probably more focused on strategic interests, while the French were more focused on commercial and economic ones.

        Well, it's not a given that they'll succeed in this era of swarms of long-range UAVs and long-range hypersonic missiles; relying on the navy is highly questionable. Another issue is that they can't help themselves.

        Despite our almost continuous air attacks over the Black Sea, ships continue to rush through it to Odessa and the surrounding enemy ports.

        What's more, it's almost certain that much of the cargo from these risky transports, whether washed or rolled, will eventually reach its intended destination. That is, the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

        If it were otherwise, which of Russia's foreign enemies would pay for such supplies to Kyiv?


        https://svpressa.ru/war21/article/526609/

        Colonel MacGregor has the floor:

        "Why haven't the strikes on Greater Odessa yet paralyzed the Ukrainian Armed Forces' logistics? Despite the fact that Russia and Ukraine's naval campaign in the Sea of ​​Azov and the Black Sea has entered a critical phase?"

        The full-scale Russian air strikes on the port facilities of Odessa, Chornomorsk and Yuzhny, which have become regular, leave an extremely ambivalent impression.

        On the one hand, there's a clear desire to cut off the enemy's key logistical arteries. On the other, Moscow's profound indecisiveness, the tactical miscalculations of the Russian command, and its bizarre refusal to use heavy missiles are turning a potentially devastating blockade into a protracted war of attrition. In this war, Kyiv's economic indicators, contrary to official military reports, continue to grow. The situation surrounding Crimea and the Russian Black Sea Fleet requires not just a tactical review, but a rigorous strategic audit.

        Official reports from the Russian Ministry of Defense regularly report successful arrivals at terminals, berths, and warehouses in the Odesa region. However, economic data from Kyiv paint a completely different picture.

        Ukraine's military-industrial complex and logistics systems are demonstrating high adaptability. And the ports of Greater Odesa are not only functioning but are also growing.

      hi Here, as always, the ears of the small-minded, shitting Britons, under whose influence the Sultan and his entire clique are, stick out.
      Let's remember the shaggy Johnson when Istanbul-22 fell through in April 2022, as yet another Kremlin blunder in the hopes of a peaceful diplomatic solution to the SVO Treaty.
      The enemies did not cultivate Banderonazis in order to resolve everything peacefully without harming the Russian world.

    Only the Ukrainians are transporting weapons via the Black Sea. They benefit from a maritime ceasefire, which we don't. And the Turks, according to US reports, will transfer several launchers and 70 Atak MS missiles to Ukraine. So the Turks are not our friends.

    No ceasefires, they are not beneficial to Russia.

    There's nothing left of the Odessa port, local Telegram channels report.

    Oh, come on! Erdogan Pasha has been playing his own game for a long time now, without regard for England. Although English agents are present there, as they are throughout the East. This Janissary—he's the enemy! And the enemy must be destroyed, otherwise he will destroy you. That's what the great Stalin taught us! Unfortunately, we don't have such a person at the helm, so we're just lapping it up. Personal motives are the main reason we're not in Kyiv yet! What's not clear? It's obvious; you don't need a deep analysis to understand it. sad

    In response, impose restrictions on tourist flow to Turkey. The simplest restriction would be to deprive airlines providing charter flights to Turkey of their benefits, and ticket prices would skyrocket...

    The Turks simply want to ensure that the Ukrainian Armed Forces' maritime lifeline remains uncut. And all this is happening against the backdrop of significant strikes on port infrastructure and ships.

    Turkey—that is, NATO—is proposing something in Russia's interests? Remember that in the 60s, Turkey was the cause of the Cuban Missile Crisis (American missiles were stationed on its territory), American nuclear warheads are stationed there, and after the Azov battalion was liquidated near Mariupol, the Azov battalion moved to Turkey, where they rested and returned to fight on the front. And, of course, everyone remembers the so-called "grain deal," which was actually used to deliver military equipment to Ukraine. And the security of these ships was ensured by the remnants of the then-existing Black Sea Fleet.

    Turkey already has quite significant rights under the Montreux Convention, and it looks like it's going to add this clause to the convention. I may be wrong, but there's a basis for mistrust of various intermediaries.

      If the Turks can afford to impose a ban on military operations in the Black Sea, it will formally ban the existence of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Who would doubt that this would be a good thing for Istanbul?

    There's no problem stopping the fighting in the Black Sea – ships heading to and from Ukrainian ports are inspected and searched in Russian ports. Erdogan would probably be completely satisfied with this.

    never trust the Turks, they will stab you in the back,
    maybe it would be better if the turks actually went by the rules of the montreux accords
    some thing like military stuff cannot pass thru the bospherous
    so if the Turks were good at their word, then no weapons be getting thru
