Russia wants to remove these restrictions. We need a corridor and mine clearance of this corridor. The Ukrainian side says that it can clear it in 15 days. But Ukraine does not want the passage of Russian warships through the port of Odessa. And Russia does not want this corridor to be used for supply Ukraine with weapons. We need a mechanism. Yesterday, both (Russian President Vladimir — ed.) Putin and (Vladimir — ed.) Zelensky said they were ready to work on it,» Cavusoglu said during a conversation with editors at the Anadolu Agency.
