Arr! The scallywag Turk be playin' a fine role o' mediator betwixt Russia 'n Ukraine since t' full-scale invasion commenced last February.

In the language of a 17th-century pirate, me hearties, let me spin ye a tale o' the Turkish leader! Aye, this scallywag be known as a key mediator betwixt Russia and Ukraine since the full-scale invasion began last February. Arr, it be quite a sight to see, like two ships locked in a fierce cannonball battle, with this Turkish leader sailin' betwixt them, tryin' to broker peace.

Now, ye may be wonderin', why this bloke be gettin' involved in such a messy feud? Well, me mateys, it be all 'bout power and keepin' the seas calm. Ye see, this Turkish leader be holdin' a strategic position 'twixt East and West, and he don't want no trouble brewin' in his waters. He be sayin' to himself, "Avast, I'll be keepin' these two scurvy nations from tearin' each other apart, for the sake of me own interests!"

But let me tell ye, this task be no easy feat. It be like tryin' to make a parrot stop squawkin' or teachin' a sea turtle to walk on land. Russia and Ukraine be at each other's throats, and this Turkish leader be caught in the middle, like a sailor on a plank between two hungry sharks. He be tryin' to speak the language of diplomacy, but them two sides be speakin' a different tongue altogether.

Yet, this Turkish leader be persistent, like a barnacle clingin' to a ship's hull. He be meetin' with both sides, tryin' to find common ground, like a pirate searchin' for buried treasure. He be sayin', "Arr, let's talk this out, ye scurvy dogs! We be all wantin' the same thing – peace and booty!" But alas, both Russia and Ukraine be suspicious of each other's motives, like two pirates arguin' over a treasure map.

So, me hearties, the Turkish leader be fightin' a battle on the high seas of diplomacy, tryin' to calm the storm betwixt Russia and Ukraine. Whether he be successful or not, only Davy Jones knows. But one thing be certain – this be a tale worth tellin', for it shows that even in the 17th century, pirates, too, be dabbling in matters of state. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
