Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan told Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky in a phone call on Thursday that Ankara was ready to take on mediation and moderation duties to secure a lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine.
A readout from Erdogan's office said Turkey also offered diplomatic support regarding the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station. Turkey previously acted as a mediator alongside the United Nations to set up a deal allowing grain exports from Ukrainian ports.
