Trump’s Ukraine push got a new twist? Erdogan moves first with Putin directly as Zelensky struggles

Published on Nov 23, 2025 11:24 pm IST On the sidelines of the G20 Summit, the Turkish President dropped a bombshell. Turkish President Erdogan is preparing a high-stakes call with Vladimir Putin that could determine the fate of both the stalled Black Sea grain deal and a potential new peace effort. Ankara has quietly become the only bridge between Kyiv, Moscow, Europe and Washington — but this time the stakes are far higher.
