Minister of National Defense of Turkiye Hulusi Akar met with Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov and Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov, APA reports citing West Observer.

During the meeting, where the latest situation regarding grain shipments was discussed, Minister Akar said, “It is of great importance to continue the grain initiative, which has contributed greatly to the solution of the global food crisis by safely shipping about 10 million tons of grain to those in need, and showing that all problems can be resolved through cooperation and dialogue. It was stated that it is much faster and more convenient for grain transportation than the road, and the grain shipment initiative, which is a purely human activity, should be kept apart from conflict conditions.

Akar also stated that Turkey will continue to do its part in ensuring peace in the region and humanitarian aid at all levels, especially President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, as it has done so far.
