Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan are scheduled to engage in discussions in Moscow “in the coming days,” as reported by the TASS news agency on Monday. This information was conveyed by Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
Turkiye is trying to persuade Russia to return to a deal that allows for the export of grain via Ukraine’s Black Sea ports.
The Kremlin has said President Vladimir Putin is likely to hold talks in person soon with Turkiye’s President Tayyip Erdogan on the Black Sea grain accord and other issues, but no date or venue has yet been announced.
