Zelenskyi Shared Details of His Negotiations with Erdogan and Described the Conversation as “Very Substantive”

In his traditional daily address to the nation on August 18th, Zelenskyi described the conversation as “very substantive”.

"I held very substantive negotiations on many topics today with President of Türkiye Erdoğan. I am grateful to him for his unwavering support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our state. We discussed defense, economic and energy cooperation. I am grateful to Turkey for its willingness to take under patronage the reconstruction of Kharkiv and the Kharkiv region. This is a mission for a truly powerful country. Today, the first step was taken - an agreement on infrastructure was signed", Zelenskyi said.

The President emphasized the need to increase the grain export from Ukraine.

"Of course, we talked about the grain export initiative. The result is there - and not only for Ukraine, but also for the world, as it is felt that the severity of the global food crisis is decreasing. Therefore, there is a great need for more security, a greater volume of exports, more ships that can deliver Ukrainian food from our ports", Zelenskyi said.
