Talks between Türkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy began on October 31 at the Dolmabahçe Working Office in Istanbul. Erdoğan greeted the Ukrainian leader at the entrance.
After posing for the press, the leaders moved on to talks.
The Black Sea tops the agenda
