The visit of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky to Istanbul is important for the development of a strategic partnership between the two states, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba has said.

"It is very important that the visit takes place in the context of Russia's aggravation of the situation in Donbas and Crimea. This is another opportunity to make sure we are on the same page with Turkey's strategic partners and to discuss possible Turkey's support in counteracting Russian aggression because Turkey is a steadfast partner and friend of Ukraine,” Kuleba said in a commentary to Ukrinform.

Speaking about countering Russian aggression, in particular the development of relations between Ukraine and Turkey, the minister stressed that the strategic partnership between the two countries is not directed against other countries.

"Russia does not benefit from the strategic partnership between Ukraine and Turkey, so of course they are trying to get involved in it. The strategic partnership between our countries is not directed against anyone. Its goal is the prosperity of our peoples, Ukrainians and Turks," Kuleba said.

As reported by Ukrinform, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky was on an official visit to Turkey on Saturday, April 10.

The ninth meeting of the High-Level Strategic Council between Ukraine and the Republic of Turkey took place under the chairmanship of the two presidents. A joint declaration was signed following the meeting.
