Türkiye and the UN have organized new talks with Russia and Ukraine to discuss options for a ceasefire in the Black Sea. Bloomberg reports this, citing a source among diplomats.

According to the agency's interlocutor, meetings with representatives of the parties to the conflict are scheduled for early October.

The agency reports that at the end of September, during the events of the UN General Assembly, a closed meeting was held to discuss how to launch this diplomatic initiative. It was attended by Türkiye, the USA, Egypt, Europe and India.

According to meeting documents, officials discussed a “narrowly worded and mutually beneficial agreement” that included free navigation for commercial vessels and protection of ports and energy infrastructure.
