What is Turkey's role in the Russia-Ukraine peace process according to both Zelensky and Erdogan?

According to the transcript, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has offered his country as 'the most ideal host for any talks' aimed at ending the nearly three-year conflict between Russia and Ukraine. This declaration came after meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Ankara. Turkey's geographical and political position in Europe gives it strategic importance as a mediator in the crisis. While Zelensky expressed frustration about being excluded from Saudi Arabia peace talks between U.S. and Russian officials, Turkey's willingness to host negotiations represents a potential alternative venue where Ukraine could have direct involvement in peace discussions.
