Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is urging Russia and Ukraine to cease attacks in the Black Sea. This appeal comes as tensions remain high following Russia’s withdrawal from a UN-brokered grain deal. Fidan emphasized the need for stability in the region, particularly regarding maritime safety and grain exports. He stressed that continued attacks pose risks to civilian vessels and global food security. Turkey, a key regional player, has consistently sought to mediate between both nations and facilitate dialogue. The call for a pause reflects growing international concerns over the escalating conflict’s impact on the Black Sea's crucial shipping lanes. Turkey hopes a cessation of hostilities will allow for renewed negotiations and potentially a return to the grain agreement.
