President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held a phone call where they discussed Ukraine, the Kremlin said on Monday.
The two sides discussed a potential prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine, as well as normalisation of Turkish-Syrian relations, the Kremlin said.
"The exchange of views on the situation around Ukraine continued," the Kremlin said.
"Concrete steps were discussed in the project of turning Russian grain into flour in Türkiye and sending it to African countries in need," said a statement by the Turkish Communications Directorate on the phone call between Erdoğan and Putin.
The Black Sea grain corridor to allow ships to export goods from Ukraine and export of ammonia from Russia, along with the latest developments in the war in Ukraine, were also on the two leaders' agenda, the statement added.
Erdoğan also reiterated Ankara's willingness to facilitate and mediate a lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine, it said.
