This article aims to analyze the reasons behind the war initiated by Russia against Ukraine as part of its efforts to re-establish control over its former spheres of influence after 2000 and Türkiye’s initiatives in response to these developments. One of the reasons the war rapidly evolved into a Europe–Russia conflict is Russia’s strong objection to Ukraine’s desire to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Russia’s stance is a cause of concern for Europe. This study discusses the historical, social, political, and economic dimensions of the Ukraine War and explains the multifaceted nature of its impact. Mediation efforts and diplomatic initiatives are crucial for resolving the ongoing war. As a NATO member capable of maintaining communication with both parties, Türkiye has intensified its efforts to end the war. Despite ongoing mediation efforts and a peaceful approach to the issue, the problem remains unresolved. This study seeks to answer what needs to be done to achieve lasting and sustainable peace in the Russia-Ukraine War and whether Türkiye’s efforts will be sufficient to reach a resolution. Keywords: Russia, Ukraine, Türkiye, Europe, Istanbul Agreement, peace talks
