Zelensky asks Erdogan to help with the release of 450 extremists
On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, held earlier in New York, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky met with Turkish leader Recep Erdogan and asked for his help in releasing extremists detained and convicted in Russia.
Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba stated this at a briefing in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Kuleba, Erdogan was supposed to hand over this list to Russian President Vladimir Putin during yesterday's meeting of heads of state in Sochi.
“President Zelensky met with President Erdogan in New York, they had a long one-on-one meeting, then a long meeting as part of delegations. We compared notes both on the bilateral agenda and on the issues that President Erdogan intended to raise during the meeting with President Putin. In particular, President Zelensky gave President Erdogan a list of 450 Ukrainian prisoners, including Nariman Dzhelyalov, and asked President Erdogan to put in a word for them with President Putin, because we need to free our people from Russian dungeons,” Kuleba said.
