Kuleba said this on the air of the telethon.

"If someone meets without Ukraine, it does not mean that they speak without Ukraine. Ukraine is like the shadow of Hamlet's father. We are always present," Kuleba said.

According to him, the Turkish president is likely to call Zelenskyy in the coming hours and inform the Ukrainian president about the results of the talks.

"The presidents of Ukraine and Turkey have a trusting relationship. I am convinced that following the conversation with Putin, Erdogan and Zelenskyy will have contacts with each other, and they will discuss in detail what they discussed and what they agreed to, if they agreed in Sochi," Kuleba said.

The talks between Erdogan and Putin were fruitless

According to Erdogan, the alternative versions of the grain deal are inferior to the original agreements in terms of security.

"The alternative proposals put on the table did not meet expectations in terms of security and other aspects," he said, adding that the deal "played a huge role for the poorest countries."

According to Putin, in order for Russia to return to the grain deal, the requirements previously set by the Kremlin must be met. He is waiting for the lifting of some of the sanctions on the supply of Russian grain and fertilizers to European markets.

The Turkish president assured that his country continues to pay attention to Russia's concerns about the implementation of the grain deal.

"We will prepare a new package in consultation with the UN, and I believe we will be able to achieve a result. Turkey will make every effort, and we believe that we will reach a result in terms of this agreement as soon as possible," Erdogan added.
