On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on to show support for Turkey by increasing tourism activities with it.
A statement issued by the Ukrainian presidency stated that Zelensky talked about his fruitful visit to Turkey during the meeting of the National Defense and Security Council.
According to the statement, Zelensky thanked Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for his support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Zelensky indicated that he discussed with Erdogan the conditions related to Turkish and Ukrainian tourists, and the increase in the flow of tourists between the two countries.
He added, “We have to support each other.
You have heard that Russia will limit tourism to Turkey.
