RT by @danutahuebner: I just spoke with @RTErdogan to reaffirm the strength of Ukrainian-Turkish cooperation in many areas, including defense. We already have many successful joint projects and must do even more this year to strengthen our two nations.

In many ways, our partnership is critical for regional security, Black Sea security, and, on a global scale, food security. I am personally grateful to President Erdogan and Türkiye for supporting our efforts on Ukraine's maritime export corridor.

Our corridor has already passed over 14 million cargoes and 500 vessels. This is a significant economic, security, and geopolitical achievement. We demonstrate that, despite all existing threats, we can restore security to our region. The strength of our partnership strengthens our entire region.

President Erdogan and I also discussed the upcoming Peace Formula meeting of advisors in Davos. I invited Türkiye's representative to attend. Every country that participates in these joint efforts—at the level of advisors now and the leaders’ level later—will be proving how important it is to make international law work.

We paid special attention to the Peace Formula item on returning all illegally detained persons, specifically Ukrainian children stolen by Russians, captives, and all those repressed in occupied territories, including Crimea. Türkiye's mediation is critical to ensuring the release of Crimean Tatars and everyone else held captive in Russia, including adults and children, warriors and civilians.
