Ukraine-Turkey interactions
After the beginning of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, Turkey maintained cooperation with both sides. The country also offered its help to mediate peace negotiations.
Thanks to Turkey, a grain deal was signed in order to export safely Ukrainian food to needy countries.
