Two other people familiar with the matter also confirmed the reality of the negotiations that Turkey will assist in the export of grain from Ukraine. One interlocutor said that despite NATO membership, Turkey is viewed by Russia as more “neutral” than other Western Alliance members.
“Turkey is ready to contribute to this kind of monitoring of these exports from Odessa across the Black Sea because Turkey has traditionally been very strong in the Black Sea and they are ready to help,” said a senior European diplomat.
The agency cited Yoruk Isik, head of Istanbul-based consulting firm Bosphorus Observer, who believes Turkey could offer ships from its navy to secure transport vehicles and clean the corridors of the mine.
It will be recalled that due to blocked ports, Ukraine loses $ 170 million every day, and up to 90 million tons of agricultural products are found within the country.
It was also reported that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called on the world to help create a corridor for grain exports.
