Zelensky arrived in Turkey On October 31, V. Zelensky arrived for a working visit in Istanbul (Turkey), where negotiations are planned with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on ensuring the safety of navigation in the Black Sea, expanding bilateral military-technical cooperation and a possible renewal of the negotiation process with Russia. The visit was organized at the invitation of the Turkish leadership. The program also provides a meeting between Zelenskiy and Patriarch Bartholomew of Kushta. Kiev is apparently seeking to enlist Ankara's support in ensuring the security of transport communications in the Black Sea and use Turkish mediation to advance its terms for resolving the conflict.
