Turkey’s peace push faces fire | Eastern Express

A Turkish-owned grain ship has sunk in the Black Sea, bringing the danger facing civilian crews into sharp focus as Ankara pushes for a maritime truce. Romanian authorities confirm two deaths and eleven rescues, while Ukraine attributes the incident to Russian drones. Turkey is seeking an agreement to halt attacks on commercial vessels, drawing on its experience brokering the Black Sea Grain Initiative with the United Nations. Its diplomatic ties with Moscow and Kyiv give it access to both governments, but securing rules they will observe remains difficult.

Eastern Express examines Turkey’s mediation efforts, the latest sinking, and what a workable agreement would need to protect shipping.
