He said that he personally discussed this proposal with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv two weeks ago and that it remains relevant despite the fact that Moscow has not agreed to it.

According to the plan, the wounded soldiers evacuated from Azovstal will be transported by land to the port of Berdyansk, after which a Turkish ship will deliver them to Istanbul.

“If it can be implemented in this way, we will be happy to do it. We are ready. Our ship is ready to go and deliver wounded soldiers and other civilians to Turkey,” Kalyn stressed.
