Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday said Ukrainian, British, French and Turkish representatives will discuss Black Sea security in Turkey.
Zelensky stated this in Odesa while speaking alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
“This is a military meeting on security in the Black Sea, first of all, a coalition of the willing, appropriate steps,” he said.
The Ukrainian leader said meetings would take place on Tuesday and Wednesday.
It was not immediately clear whether meetings were already ongoing.
“There are already quite a few such meetings, in various formats,” Zelensky added.
Also speaking, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said Turkey has in 2022 already successfully agreed a ceasefire when it came to a greater grain deal.
“Let's be positive on the fact that Turkey, again, tries to bring together all relevant parties, And let's hope they are successful,” Rutte said.
“We are talking about the presence of a contingent at sea, and we believe that Turkey can have a serious place in future security guarantees for the sea.
“This is not about ending the war, this is about what will happen after the ceasefire – security guarantees,” Zelensky concluded.
