Military representatives of Turkey and foreign nations will meet in Turkey on April 15-16 to discuss Black Sea security after a possible ceasefire is agreed between Ukraine and Russia, the country’s Defense Ministry said on Sunday.

“A meeting will be held on April 15-16 at the Naval Forces Headquarters regarding the security of the Black Sea following a possible ceasefire between the Russian Federation and Ukraine,” the ministry said in a statement.

The ministry didn’t specify the countries that would attend the meeting.

Separately, the ministry said Russia and Ukraine would not attend the meeting later this week.  [Reuters]
