Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said on Friday the country will monitor all grain shipments from Ukrainian ports in compliance with the agreement that was made earlier today.
In addition, the Turkish defense minister revealed he will again meet with his Russian counterpart Sergey Shoigu and Ukrainian officials in the coming days to discuss the shipment of grain from the Black Sea.
The long-awaited grain accord was signed earlier by the representatives of Moscow, Kiev, Ankara, and the United Nations, while Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan added that the grain corridor would begin operating soon, unblocking 80 ships that are allegedly stuck at Ukrainian ports.
