“I spoke with Mevlut Cavusoglu.

I stressed the role of Turkey in securing the UN deal on the export of Ukrainian grain,” he wrote on Twitter.

The parties also discussed the impact of European sanctions imposed against Russia.

Borrell expressed hope that Turkey would be able to "use its influence on Russia" to complete the Russian special military operation in Ukraine.

On August 22, the Joint Coordination Center (JCC) in Istanbul allowed two more ships with grain to leave Ukrainian ports.

Since August 1, since the beginning of the implementation of the grain deal, more than 622 thousand tons of food have been exported from the territory of Ukraine.
