Details: According to Zelensky, a meeting is happening in Turkey focused on Black Sea security and involving the "coalition of the willing".

"For the past two days, this has been discussed on the platform of our Turkish colleagues. They have invited. Representatives from European countries will be present, similar to the summit in Paris – including the UK, France, and of course, Ukraine, with Turkey as the host nation", he added.

The Turkish Ministry of Defense previously announced that a meeting would occur on April 15-16, where the security of the Black Sea would be discussed following a potential ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia.

However, Turkish media had reported that Russian representatives were supposed to attend the meeting, but Ankara denied this.

It is important to note that following the negotiations in Saudi Arabia from March 23-25, the US, Russia, and Ukraine agreed to discuss securing navigation in the Black Sea.

However, Russia subsequently issued a list of demands, including the easing of several sanctions on the agricultural sector. The US stated they would consider these demands, while in Europe, the easing of sanctions was rejected.
