Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Türkiye has presented proposals on Black Sea security, but no concrete negotiations are being held on this matter.
During the Russia-Türkiye Foreign Ministries consultation meetings held in Moscow on September 8-9, the security situation in the Black Sea and developments related to the Ukraine crisis were discussed. The Russian Foreign Ministry had emphasized in these talks that the Kiev administration's activities in Black Sea waters put maritime transport safety at risk for regional countries, especially Türkiye.
