Turkey and Ukraine agree to work together to rebuild the war-torn country.png

Ankara and Kyiv have agreed to cooperate to rebuild Ukraine's war-torn country. This agreement was reached during a meeting between Lviv's two countries' presidents.

Under the terms of the agreement, Turkish Trade Minister Mehmet Mus and Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov will work together to attract Turkish investment and develop specific cooperative projects.

This cooperation is seen as a way to help Ukraine recover from the conflict and rebuild its infrastructure.

In a statement, Zelensky said that the "visit of the president of Turkey to Ukraine is a powerful message of support from such a powerful country." Turkey has twice been able to bring the warring parties to the table in an attempt to negotiate a ceasefire, but the talks have so far failed.

However, Ankara has successfully convinced Russia and Ukraine to sign a deal that is now facilitating the transportation of 22 million tonnes of Ukrainian grain from three Ukrainian ports to the world markets. Russia can export its agricultural products in return.

Despite Turkey's closure of the Bosporus to the Black Sea, prohibiting Russian military flights through Turkish airspace, and calling Russia's invasion an "illegal and unprovoked attack," Erdogan has maintained positive ties with Putin. This has prompted some eyebrows to be raised in Western capitals.

Ankara has not participated in the sanctions placed by the US and EU on Russia over the war because it only executes penalties issued by the UN.

Since the Russian invasion began in February, there has been an influx of Russian citizens into Turkey. This includes oligarchs and their yachts, as well as regular citizens. Western sanctions have sparked the growing bilateral trade with Moscow.

This has triggered suspicion that Moscow might try to circumvent sanctions by investing in or buying Turkish companies, including in the energy sector.

However, Turkish officials say they wouldn't allow such actions, despite their non-participation in the West's punitive steps.

The sources said that Turkey wants to continue playing the mediator role. However, they also said that Ankara is sympathetic to Ukraine.

Ankara's policy is to continue playing the mediator role, though they acknowledge that Ankara tilts towards Ukraine in its sympathies.

Ankara is also working to convince Russia and Ukraine to sign a new deal. This deal would facilitate the transportation of 22 million tonnes of Ukrainian grain from three ports to the world markets.
