ANKARA (AA) – Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will visit Ukraine on Aug. 25, Turkish diplomatic sources said on Tuesday.
The sources, who asked not to be named due to restrictions on speaking to the media, did not share further information about the visit.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan previously announced that Fidan may visit Russia soon to hold face-to-face talks.
Last month, Russia suspended its participation in the Black Sea grain deal, which it signed last summer along with Türkiye, the UN, and Ukraine to resume grain exports from three Ukrainian Black Sea ports that were paused after the Russia-Ukraine war began in February 2022. Moscow has repeatedly complained that the Russian part of the agreement was not implemented.
Ankara has been carrying out intense efforts and pushing diplomacy for the resumption of the deal.
Türkiye, internationally praised for its unique mediator role between Ukraine and Russia, has repeatedly called on Kyiv and Moscow to end the war, which has now surpassed 500 days, through negotiations.
