“I had a telephone conversation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
We considered the need to continue the grain initiative and expand its geography to other ports of Ukraine,” Zelensky said on the social network.
The Ukrainian leader noted that they also discussed the Grain from Ukraine food initiative promoted by Kyiv and diplomatic steps to implement the “peace formula” he proposed.
Earlier, the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture reported that Turkey had completed preparations to start processing Russian grain and send it to countries in need.
On January 16, Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the implementation of the grain deal during negotiations.
