well, it polls here and turkey show that turkey wants to stay out of this. the jugs public here really would like to stay out of this conflict. and ideally, would want to stay out of feeling the effects of this conflict. but that simply is not going to happen. so of president edwin is acutely aware that and, and he's put this on the record, he wants to see a sci fi wants to see a stabilization once again. and this is, will have shelton him, actually one to one have the exact same aim, both on nato partners, but of both, we're very much on different sides. what that means in terms of it's sticking to the alliance in the past. after all, tuck, he bought defense, a weapons from russia, but it also has military corporation with ukraine. and this is something that expects a lot of debate within nato in the past. and now, and present at on actively sitting on the fence, at least in the sense of refusing to condemn russia to condemn vladimir putin, may give him that bit of clout, to, if not become immediate at least a potential facilitator. so when we're talking ab

what happens if there was such a request and would turkey would do so with us turkey stand on this issue. i don't want to serve the turkey, will neither abandon ukraine nor russia. what's, what's your feeling? well, 1st, your, 1st of all, you have to know that turkey geographically, it shares a maritime border in the black sea with both countries. and the turkish government has a cultivated close political and economic ties with both countries, russia and ukraine. and that has put turkish president ad one in a delicate position where we see him trying to balance his interests. on the one hand, his obligations towards his nato ally ukraine. turkey also sold combat drones to the ukrainian government and on the other side. and his ties with moscow add on knows that he cannot afford a full, loud with russia. economically turkey depends on russian energy supplies, gas, on grain supplies, on russian tourists, even so there is a lot at stake for the turkish government for turkey's already ailing economy. and i think that explains present ed, one somewhat ambiguous statements there, why he says,

well, 1st of all, thank you for giving me the opportunity regarding turkeys role in this turkeys role was not mediation. it was hospital taishan unlimited to create a new platform for bringing the parties together, which you did. but the sum it also revealed the gap of expectations between ukrainian party and russian party. and by the way, i'm in between the russian party and the rest of us as us said, that the ukranian for a minute to express that agreement was reached on issues such as mentoring and corey door. or if he's fired and ran, asked about this minister louder or send me some it was never supposed to produce any such results. then later on and other jordan is asked law row if, if the gradient side suggested, or i'm sorry, some journalist as our or if you made any proposal that the ukranian side rejected . and he preferred to skip that question. so i understand that louder actually did not have any expectations for this meeting anyway. beyond, you know, having the platform making propaganda to the globe, i was just going to ask you about, i mean, so what was russia's objecti

so there is still an open channel between russia and turkey, almost in the little way. turkey is not participating in sanctions against russia at the moment. and if in russia you want to take a plane at the moment, turkey is one of the places that you can actually still go to. turkey positioning itself will definitely seeing itself as a mediator between potent and the west. how much influence can turkey as a nato member really have almost go? yes, a note, a membership might be an advantage or a disadvantage. in these talks. turkey is a very difficult member of nato, for instance, that has bought a huge weapon system, anti aircraft system from russia against the will of its narrative partners. so this all put, took it in a certain position of influence on both sides. but there obviously are lots of other strands of negotiations going on. the is ready, prime minister, for instance, is also trying to negotiate and all of sholtes and the french president amount of the craw also constantly talking to protein. so order these strands of diplomacy have to be combined in some sense and certai

european union and turkey. hope of obviously energy cooperation is at the top of our list. you'll be aware of the fact that germany has set itself the abs, vicious aim of phasing out fossil fuels very quickly for months if you are in not even 25 years less than that. that means for power generation from renewables winds former offshore onshore and solar bio capacities we need to improve as well. we're going to have to import some power to listen and will have to cooperate with others . hydrogen is another issue, but if you are such a big industrial country as germany, you will have to import of power from somewhere. and therefore, we are also looking at how we can import renewable lights or the power of truth, as well as generating our own. we need to diversify ah, well energy portfolio within europe in terms of gas or oil and coal from other sources than from russia. because we don't want to blame, remain in our dependent situation that we find ourselves in. now we need to have a sovereignty to make our own de

and or, and so far, turkey has shied away from sanctions, eas, turkey, turkey, likely to join other nato and western nations in bag backing sanctions against russia who took, has been very outspoken about sanctions. they say that they don't work their counter productive in many ways price itself same with the only one in the present imposes. we can still hope to rational, and some people are suspicious. so you can see itself in the back door like i've done with miss acclaim. but beyond that, even though turkey's resisting the sanctioned school and even closing his s face to russian play plays like with he's continuing to provide wetmans to you. great and very important, charming russian missile from top leave, very successful and also it's all important are continue to take losses. so in many ways this is seen as possibly the most. it is basically citing front i and thank you very much, dorian jones, forth in his temple, much like turkey. israel is also working for a diplomatic solution on saturday, prime minister, enough tale. bennett became the 1st world later to mate with vladimir put

well, in many ways, turkey is in a unique position. it is a nato member, and it has been unequivocal in its support of ukraine, the turkish president reject ty, 3rd one. i said that is unacceptable. russia's invasion, and on top of that turkey has been supplying it, sir. oh, in it sir. military drones, which have proved to be very effective and also a portly other important military hardware to ukraine. but at the same time, a turkey has spoken out against international sanctions on russia and said it will take no part in though sanction. so turkey has been in many ways walking a tightrope because it does have good relations with both ukrainian president and the russian president as well. so turkey does believe it is in a good position to offer mediation. and on top of that, turkey's mediation efforts come as other players in the region, 2 are playing a role. israel has also been speaking with the russian president vladimir putin. israel does have good relations with russia and also even saudi arabia. so all of these other countries to

call for turkey to close the straits to russian warships. the turkish sher forum in some ever travel shore has been very keen to say this is an aimed just at russia about all the black sea nations and on black sea nations will not be allowed to enter. that includes nato, but what impact is, will have on washer itself, is unclear because in the run up to its invasion, it had rush through 6 warships and a submarine through the turkey straight ahead of its operations. now to russia has another 4 ships and all waiting, according to pause to enter through the is stumble straight to the black sea. what will happen to those ships is unclear, but are undoubtedly this will be seen as a major blow to russia both strategically, militarily and diplomatically. story, and joins in his danville there. well, the un high commissioner for refugees says more than 500000 ukrainians, have fled their countries since the fighting began. and the agency is planning for up to 4000000 in the coming weeks. most ukrainians, fleeing the fighting of so far headed west int

he joins us live from and talia in southern turkey. so jamal, that meeting between the russian and ukrainian fondness does it seem to end with both sides poles apart, right. and in the same way, it starts, or at least in terms of where each country positions itself with regard to this war . as you mentioned, there, russia saying that it will continue its bombardments and it's a tax on ukraine until it is demilitarized, as the russian foreign minister described it, saying that his country's goals haven't changed ukraine. interesting, that's sufficient facilities must be implemented immediately. and thing that even though they had simply for 24 hour ceasefire that that was rejected. so people are offering what's has been achieved as far as turkey is concerned. the country that toasted this high level meeting, they will say that at least discussions negotiations have begun. that this type of talks between the senior officials from both sides is a promising but they're from minister the circle for a minute. somebody already said that nobod

s. president joe biden over the weekend and turkey bleat. it's many ways uniquely place to solve this, given the fact that prisoner to one has very good relations with both the ukranian and the russian presidents doesn't mean that agra is avoiding conflict a with pooty and briefly yes. well, i mean took his role is quite ambiguous. over the ukranian, the conflict on the one hand, it is providing very sophisticated weapons to ukraine, including its well known drones, which have inflict a lot of damage on russia. but at the same time, turkey is opposing international sanctions and keeps his air space open to rush and plain so many we suck, he is work walking a type rope. but for europe, i think that they are happy with that role because they believe possibly down the road that one couldn't possibly help in mediating between a russia and ukraine. or correspondence. dorian jones, they're reporting from is symbol. thank you, dorian. and that's it from me and the news team, i'll have an update for you at the top of the, of course, antic could find

just take turkey, they bans russian ships from passing the boss for us. but little more now, this pressure on turkey's president to change that and spotify, luke set to join the rush to n f t's following up plans, which could see the funds sell the tokens on extreme. so we'll get the insights of an expert and daniel winter, welcome to dw business. u. s. markets are ending the week on a hi turning around a long period of losses. us stock to achieve the best weekly gain since november 2020. the s and p 500 index of top us firms rose close to 6 percent in the past 5 days alone. i oil prices and the war in ukraine had put pressure on stock to the past several weeks and our man eons quarter is at the center of the action at the new york stock exchange. hi and it's good to see you again. so what sparked this turnaround? i didn't know quite a week, you know, question about that blue chips up by more than 5 percent as m p 500 by more than 6, they're not our comp. was it even by a good to 8 percent? obviously some investors believed after those huge losses that we

his arrival at these meetings as a concession, just a turkey turkey is seen as an important ally of russia all be that it is many way supporting ukraine and took his been loving very half a, some kind of facilitating if not mediation role. and this meeting was seen as a possible concession to turkey, but beyond that, it appears oliver wasn't going to make any further moves. so i think there is a great deal of disappointment over this meeting. a very delicate balancing actor that turkey is trying to pull off here. what does this mean now for took his role as a possible mediator with president her rich ab type heard one in spinning a conversation with the u. s. president joe biden. the seasoning our stress 30, he still saw these talks as a success in so far as that they are the highest level meeting between ukrainian and russian officials. and he stress the importance of dia, locker and diplomacy must play in resolving this conflict. that was the message to buy them and it does indicate a turkey still wants to play this kind of roll over of if not been a mediator at least been a facilitator.

so where does turkey stand on this issue, or want to sir? turkey will neither abandon ukraine nor russia. what's, what's your feeling? well 1st, your 1st of all, you have to know that turkey geographically, it shares a maritime border in the black sea with both countries. and the turkish government has cultivated close political and economic ties with both countries, russia and ukraine, and that has put turkish president edwin in a delicate position where we see him trying to balance his interests. on the one hand, his obligations towards his nato ally ukraine. turkey also sold combat drones to the ukrainian government and on the other side. and his ties with moscow add on knows that he cannot afford a full, loud with russia. economically turkey depends on russian energy supplies, gas, on grain supplies, on russian tourists, even so there is a lot at stake for the turkish government for turkey's already ailing economy. and i think that explains present ed, one somewhat ambiguous statements there why he says, he's not going to leave ukraine a

currently, it's russia, but tomorrow it will be turkey. and it is, it has been yesterday actually turkey as well. as i mentioned, we had a group here in 2016, supported by nato forces inside turkey as well. so if the turkish government focuses on that broader scope, and if it acknowledges that the conflict in crane is a conflict between natal led by the united states and the your asian side, currently led by russia. but with china and india and several lesson american countries behind it, then it will play a positive role in not only pushing that too, but also in really achieving, contributing to global regional and global peace. i think that is the path to follow. and this scope needs to go beyond small and short term economic interest as well. this is very important while talking about economic interests and unsanctioned and no policies, the situation, the criminal said that that's actually to be criticized the discrimination russians are now facing in the west. as we've heard, mastercard and visa have withdrawn, and now many russians wi

just take turkey, they bans russian ships from passing the boss for us. but little more now this pressure on turkey's president to change that. and spotify looked set to join the rush to nf t's drawing up plans, which could see the from cell the tokens on extreme. so we'll get the insights of an expert. i'm daniel winter, welcome to dw business. u. s. markets are ending the week on a hi turning around a long period of losses. us stocks achieved the best weekly gain since november 2020. the s and p 500 index of top us firms rose close to 6 percent in the past 5 days alone. high oil prices and the war in ukraine had put pressure on stock to the past several weeks and our manny ends quarter is at the center of the action at the new york stock exchange. high end is good to see you again. so what sparked this turnaround? it in a quite a way to no question about that blue chips by more than 5 percent as m p 500 by more than fixed enough to cope with it even by a good a percent. obviously some investors believed after those huge losses that we've seen and the we

and it russia and turkey joint, the bills, a nuclear power plant in turkey's as southern city when you look at it, turkey, ukraine relations again, economics is very important. it politically, they are on the same page. and turkey's cells formed a t b to drones, to ukrainian military, and those rooms actually are the main players of the conflict on the ground. because it every day we see the pictures and videos by the russian, a military and the russian, a civilian people as showing how those drones actually destroyed the russian a military of vehicles. so basically turkey is trying to preserve a stance that it had during the world war 2 by not getting involved in this conflict because there are so many things at stake for turkey. turkey is a nato member, a very important natal member with a one of the highest a military capacity in the alliance. but it doesn't want to get in the conflict as it has. it has the a straits that connects the agency. it's a the, a black c a, but the question here is this. ha, if the, if this war prolongs, have longer turkey will be able to preserve this imp

is turkey, turkey, likely to join other nato and western nations in bag backing sanctions against russia who took has been very outspoken about sanctions. they say that they don't work counterproductive in many ways to price itself saying with one in the west present. and we can still hope to write, and some people are suspicious of talking to see itself in the back door. thank you. don with iraq toki will dismiss that claim. but beyond that, even though turkey's resisting the sanctioned school and even closing his air space through russian play plays like with continuing to provide weapons to you. great and very important, told charming russia resolved to talk very successful. and also it's all important and continued to vic losses. so in many ways this is seen as possibly the most toki is basically citing for anti and thank you very much, dorian jones, forth in his temple. i had a look at some of the other developments in the conflict security forces, and russia have detained nearly 3500 anti war protesters in demonstrations across the country. that's according to an independent protes

two presidents of russia and turkey, putin and erdogan. it is known that our delegation arrived in istanbul the day before, ukraine arrived for some reason on a turkish plane today in the morning, it is also known that both delegations have already met with the turkish leader and erdogan expressed hope for a positive the result and the end of the war, and then, probably, again sent to ukraine several dozen more attack drones, beyraktars, look. already like smartphones. well, that is, a modern form factor format. welcome to turkey and our istanbul. we are glad to host you at such a critical time. you have made great efforts on behalf of your countries. the conflict has been very frustrating for us as your friend and neighbor since the beginning of the crisis. we made sincere efforts at all levels and tried to follow the principles of friendship good neighborliness. and laws. we have demonstrated a fair approach that protects and respects the rights of both parties on all platforms where we have a say in negotiations. gave hope to the whole

k of all sanctioned russia, but there are no sanctions coming from turkey. now there's pressure on wretched type air. the want to change that as the head of a nato country. he has to live up to the policies of the western military alliance . but he's careful not to alienate his russian counterpart. fatima putin, economically, as a lot of stake attend turkey is stumbles famous. i a sophia, one of the cities most important tourist destinations. last year, 4 and a half 1000000 russians visit a turkey more than from any other country. but now with the russian warren ukraine, bringing sanctions against russia. turkish hotel and restaurant owners expect for tours and revenues to drop significantly. the russians keep us alive here in istanbul, and at the again see when they're not coming. we're off worse. it's a fact that fewer russians will come and that will be tough. on turkey, it's economy already in distress. economists are worried that the value of the rubel has dropped. so for russians, vacationing abroad will seem expensive because foreign currency deals ta

really, the focus is likely to be ukraine, germany and turkey, our nato partners. turkey is also an important player in the black sea region and has good ties with boats, russia and ukraine. they managed to bring together both countries, bring ministers here, impact aust week. and even though the pope did not see any results that plays with well from the in european capitals and also internationally. and i think this is one of the reasons why mister schultz, the german chancellor, decided to come to turkey right now today because he think support to be talking to president of type ad on matter how difficult german turkish relations have been and still are hosting diplomacy meetings is one thing, but how much influence can the turkey as a nato member, really have on president, tutti? well, i think this is one of the major questions, right. who still doesn't have any influence on missed protein, but tucking is not in the worst position. let me put it like this. what we've seen mr. ad one is doing is he is trying to continue his political balancing act way. on the one hand, he supports a ukraine

last week, turkey hosted the meters -- the ministers from the countries.alks were inconclusive but gave rise to new hope. olaf scholz is looking to build on that. he and president erdogan have already talked to vladimir putin several times since the war began. erdogan is seen as someone who understands the kremlin. whether it will help means to be seen, but the german and turkish leaders agree they want a cease-fire as soon as possible. >> each day with each bomb, russia is distancing itself more and more from the global community we formed together. therefore, our joint appeal to the russian president, pause to reflect. there can only be a diplomatic solution to this conflict. reporter: an appeal that seems unlikely to impress the russian leader. there will probably be many more meetings like this before there is an end to the violence in ukraine. brent: our correspondent was at that press conference in the turkish capital today, good evening to you. what stood out to you in what these two leaders had to say? we have the leader of germany and leader of tu

he provided combat drones. turkey is an important member of nature. while on the other hand, he is trying not to risk ties with moscow because the, the turkish economy, an ailing economy, depends so much on russian energy, russian agriculture, important russian tourists, millions of tourists from russia and come to turkey every year, spending a much needed money much needed here, india economy. and that explains why turkey so far has kept its face open to russian air planes and also has not joined western sanctions against russia. julia, when we look at the situation on the ground right now in ukraine, what role. busy can germany in turkey really play in terms of bringing a diplomatic into this conflict? well, the takesha president clearly sees himself as a mediator. he seems to enjoy that role. and the general german position here is that all kinds of diplomatic efforts right now need to be supported because everyone and present edwin seems to be one of these people will still get through to vladimir putin need to be as supportive in be their efforts

that's why turkey was chosen. you think is this gesture from our side and what does it mean for relations between our countries, well, turkey is becoming one of the uh key serious players both in the region and in the system of international relations, and it is obvious that it claims to be a link, if you like, between various systems and various subsystems of international relations. it is very important for her to be this very hub that connects the north, south, west and east, and in this regard, she tries to make the most of it, as the turks have always done throughout history from e. this story. how does the country demonstrates to russia its independence from the west that it does not impose sanctions against russia that it does not act aggressively against russia on the other hand. she's trying to undermine. uh, a number of russia's efforts in the post-soviet space contribute to the destructive processes in ukraine and are trying to show the west that it is doing this against russia. that is, it is doing bot

why is it beneficial for turkey because she understands that there will be no hub in the form of turkeyses in which the turkish republic will be forced to join those the very sanctions of the west and become part of the anglo-saxon world, turkey is not ready for this, but it is excellent at negotiating. here he is melon, and at the same time delivers to the eraktar to ukraine. she feels great with this, while erdogan says that the war is not beneficial to anyone, but how economically beneficial. moreover , but at the same time, despite the fact that it is beneficial, turkey is returning gifts in the form of mines. well, what to do bayraktars in exchange for a name, turkey needs to draw conclusions here, and she definitely tries to do them for our viewers. for several hours the bosporus was blocked due to a mine, which turned out to be thanks to our ukrainian friends. at some point, they mined, odessa, she, such a gift came from the ukrainian comrades and turkish comrades to make them think. uh, who do they support with their bayraktars and other weapons. and at the same time, it is very

. turkey has.

so i think that their expectation is that ultimately turkey is siding with ukraine and i think the turkeys western allies will be looking at this at the possibility of reaching turkey's relationship with russia and the usa, deputy secretary of state, wendy sherman, boston tacky on saturday, holding talked over ukraine, k w. dorian jones for us in istanbul. thank you. on with no end in sight to this war, the number of refugees capes climbing. the un says the total figure of people who fled ukraine has now topped one and a half 1000000. many of the refugees flaying would prefer to stay near by and surrounding countries. sanchez, poland, slovakia, or romania. but more and more are also looking for the west. the border cities of frankfort, odor in germany. and so did so in poland already have a very close partnership. within a few days, people there have put together a launch support network for refugees. d w reporter axle revolt has more. oh is mike friedrich tries to keep track. no useful. so here are food and hygiene items close to outside. the office of his nursing service in frankfort, od

well, there are no sanctions coming from turkey. however, there's pressure on president bridge of tie a better one as head of a nato country. he has to live up to the policies of the west military alliance. but he doesn't want to alienate his russian counterpart. vladimir putin last month, russian worship sailed through the doubt and l. z and both for a straits into the black sea air one has since stopped such passages. economically, there's a loaded stay for turkey. it's done. most famous. i asked sophia, one of the cities most important tourist destinations. last year, 4 and a half 1000000 russians visited turkey, more than from any other country. but now with the russian warn ukraine, bringing sanctions against russia, turkish hotel and restaurant owners expect for tourists and revenues to drop significantly. the russians keep us alive here in istanbul, and at the again see when they're not coming. we're off worse. it's a fact that fewer russians will come, and that will be tough on turkey, it's economy already in distress. econo
