Zelensky meets Erdogan in Ankara to discuss cooperation and prisoner exchanges

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara to discuss prisoner exchanges and cooperation. This meeting follows recent high-level talks between US and Russian diplomats in Saudi Arabia. Zelensky's visit comes as the US and Russia explore re-establishing ties, raising concerns in Europe and Ukraine about potential peace discussions. Turkey has maintained a neutral stance, providing drones to Ukraine while avoiding sanctions on Russia. Erdogan aims to strengthen relations with Ukraine and has acted as a mediator in prisoner swaps between the two countries. Zelensky is scheduled to visit Riyadh next.
