MADRID, 16 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The presidents of Ukraine and Turkey, Volodimir Zelenski and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, respectively, and the UN secretary general, António Guterres, will meet this Thursday in the Ukrainian city of Lviv, the United Nations reported.
The three-way meeting comes after an “invitation” from Zelenski himself, according to sources from Guterres’ office consulted by Europa Press and who have not given more details about this appointment.
After this first stopover in Lviv, Guterres will travel to Odessa, one of the three output points for Ukrainian grain. Precisely this Tuesday, the first ship chartered by the World Food Program (WFP) to export cereals left Ukraine, thanks to an agreement between kyiv and Moscow mediated by the United Nations and Turkey.
In fact, before his return to New York, Guterres will then travel to Istanbul, to visit ‘in situ’ the coordination center from which the export agreement is being examined. The UN considers that it is key to soften the effects of the Ukraine war on global food security.
