As Ankara and Moscow geared up for talks between their foreign ministers, Türkiye’s defence ministry stated that Russian and Turkish defence ministers have discussed a potential grain export corridor from Ukraine, as well as the situation in northern Syria.
The Turkish Defence Ministry said on Tuesday that Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar and his Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu evaluated “all measures that can be taken regarding the safe shipment of grains, sunflower, and all other agricultural products.”
The announcement comes as the two countries’ foreign ministers meet in Ankara for talks on United Nations-led efforts to open a safe corridor for Ukrainian grain shipments and Syria.
