"Today in Istanbul I was honored to be received by the President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

On this occasion, I thanked Turkey for its support of Ukraine, including political and

diplomatic.

We tackled the situation at the forefront. I informed the President Erdoğan in-depth about the war crimes committed by russia against the civilian population of Ukraine and the destruction of infrastructure.

Particular attention was devoted to humanitarian aid and the possibility of evacuating civilians from Mariupol. First of all - the wounded.

I am sincerely grateful to the President of Turkey and all the Turkish people for supporting our country and helping the citizens of Ukraine, who saved their lives and were forced to leave their homeland and flee to Turkey from this war waged by russia against Ukraine. "
