During a visit to New York, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky handed over a list of 450 Ukrainian prisoners to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said.

“President Zelensky met with President Erdogan in New York. They had a long tête-à-tête meeting, then a long meeting with delegations. We, as they say, synchronized watches both on the bilateral agenda and on the issues that President Erdogan intended to raise during his meeting with President Putin. In particular, President Zelensky gave President Erdogan a list of 450 Ukrainian prisoners,” Kuleba said at an online briefing on Sept. 30.

The minister also said that next week he and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu will visit Lviv.
