Ukrainian, Russian commissioners to meet in Turkey
Ukrainian and Russian representatives will meet in Turkey this week for talks on humanitarian issues including a potential prisoner swap.
ANKARA — Turkey’s chief commissioner Seref Malkoc announced Tuesday that Turkey would host two days of talks between Ukrainian and Russian counterparts this week to discuss a series of humanitarian issues including a potential prisoner swap and setting up a humanitarian corridor.
Malkoc told reporters during a joint presser with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Lubinets in Ankara, that the two-day-talks will focus on incentives to ease the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
“We will try to lay out a road map on children's rights, human rights and the exchange of wounded and prisoners during the three-way meeting," he said.
Malkoc stopped short of specifying a date for the talks but said that they would be held on the sidelines of an international human rights conference to be convened in Ankara on Wednesday and Thursday.
