Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at a press conference with his Ukrainian counterpart Zelensky: We discussed in detail with Zelensky the recent intensive efforts to reign peace in Ukraine and the security situation in the Black Sea. I want to emphasize that we are ready to make every effort to pave the way for peace. Attacks on civilian ships and steps to escalate tensions in the Black Sea will not benefit either side. I am confident that Turkish companies that have not left Ukraine despite the war conditions will make a significant contribution to its reconstruction as well.
