Head of the EU Delegation to Türkiye Ambassador Nikolaus Meyer-Landrut announced that a summit will be held in Türkiye on the anniversary of the war continuing since the invasion of Russia on Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

Speaking to reporters Ambassador Meyer-Landrut said that a summit will be organized on February 22 in İstanbul and that a representative of the Ukrainian government will be invited to the summit.

Meyer-Landrut told reporters that an official from Türkiye will also be participating in the summit but the name was not known yet and that the geopolitical and economic consequences of the war were going to be discussed.

"This is also a way to show our support to Ukraine. Last year on February 24, the start of the Russian aggression was a significant moment in the history of Europe. European history is our common geography.

"People frequently say that 9-11 is a moment of change in the history of security of the US. I can say that February 24 is similarly significant for the security situation in Europe. We have a war at our continent, this is a cruel war and a war with consequences much further than the European continent," said Meyer-Landrut. (SD/PE)
