"Like the shadow of Hamlet's father": Erdogan did not give Ukraine's interests in negotiations with Putin - Kuleba

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the Russian Federation had no grounds for leaving the agreement. If you make concessions to Moscow now, in a month it can go out again and put forward new requirements. Any negotiations on the restoration of the grain agreement cannot be held without taking into account the position of Ukraine. The same applies to the conversation of Turkish President Recep Erdogan and the Kremlin's head Vladimir Putin in Sochi.

This was announced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba, Ukrinform reports. According to him, the position of Ukraine is simple, namely: the grain initiative must be restored, but not at the expense of the "Zabozhang" of the Russian Federation. "Ukraine is like the shadow of Hamlet's father: we are always present. And the Turkish Foreign Minister was in Kiev, we had very subject conversations," Kuleba said.

He stated that the Russian Federation had no legal and political grounds for leaving the agreement. If you make concessions to Moscow now, in a month it can go out again and put forward new requirements. "It's a classic blackmail," Kuleba explained. The Minister noted that Erdogan himself will inform the Ukrainian side about the full results of the negotiations. Yes, it may be planned to talk to Erdogan and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.
