: Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
talked with Turkish President Tayyip
Erdogan
on Saturday, Zelenskyy said, in a call where the two men discussed
Ukraine's peace formula
, food security, and situation in the Middle East.
"We discussed the next round of negotiations on the Peace Formula, which will take place in Malta. Turkey will participate, adding its authoritative voice and position," Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram.
"We also discussed the situation in the Middle East and agreed on the need to ensure the protection of civilians and respect for humanitarian law," he added.
The Mediterranean island of Malta announced Friday it would host a round of
Ukraine peace
talks on October 28-29, after similar meetings in Jeddah and Copenhagen earlier this year.
Russia is not expected to take part in the talks, which Zelenskyy hopes will rally support for his own peace plan.
