Trilateral talks were held with participation of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and UN chief Antonio Guterres in Lviv on Thursday.

Turkish President Erdogan said following the meeting that he discussed possible ways of ending the war between Ukraine and Russia in a trilateral meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Zelensky and UN chief Guterres. He also said they discussed the exchange of prisoners of war between Ukraine and Russia, and that he would later raise the issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for the demilitarisation of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and said he was gravely concerned by the situation inside and around the facility.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky invited UN chief Antonio Guterres and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for talks “because he was impressed by their persuading (of) Russian President Vladimir Putin to set up the grain export operation,” France 24 reported.
