Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will hold talks after the Turkish leader's trip to Sochi to meet with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, stated this, according to The Guardian.

"I am convinced that based on the results of Erdoğan's conversation with Putin, there will be contact between President Erdoğan and President Zelensky," said the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.

Kuleba also emphasized that there is trust in the relations between the leaders of Ukraine and Türkiye.

As previously reported by Rubryka, the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, after negotiations with the President of Türkiye, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, stated that Moscow is not ready to immediately return to the Black Sea Grain Initiative, which it aborted in July.

For reference:

It should be noted that the President of Türkiye, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, arrived in Sochi on September 4 to meet with Vladimir Putin. It was planned to discuss the grain corridor. In addition, Erdoğan would offer mediation in peace talks with Ukraine.

In particular, formulas for transporting Russian gas to Europe via Türkiye would be discussed during the meeting. Earlier, Putin proposed the construction of a natural gas center in Türkiye. According to him, Moscow wanted to create an electronic platform to sell gas in Türkiye.

Earlier, Turkish media reported that Putin might visit Türkiye in August to discuss restoring the "grain agreement" and exchanging prisoners.

But later, there was information that the President of Türkiye, Recep Erdoğan, might meet with the dictator Vladimir Putin in Russia. Rubryka previously reported this.

On August 28, information appeared that Erdoğan was to meet with Russian dictator Putin to discuss restoring the "grain agreement."
