Zelenskyy thanks Erdogan for saving Ukraine grain deal

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for his active participation in preserving the Black Sea grain deal in a phone call on Wednesday, AzVision.az reports citing Daily Sabah.

In a statement on Telegram, Zelenskyy said he had also discussed further steps to return prisoners, saying Ankara's support was important. Türkiye has been involved in at least one high-profile swap of captives between Russia and Ukraine.

Erdogan told Zelenskyy that the ability of Ukraine and Russia to sell grain was of critical importance for the whole world.

Speaking after Russia said it would resume its participation in a deal freeing up grain exports from Ukraine, Erdogan said diplomatic efforts should be increased to end the war with a just solution.
