In brief

Turkey is convening a meeting of armed forces representatives from Black Sea countries on Tuesday and Wednesday devoted to the security of the sea after a possible ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, the Turkish defence ministry announced on Sunday. The talks will be held at the Turkish Naval Forces Headquarters, without the participation of Ukraine and Russia, and the list of invited countries has not been disclosed. Authorities in Kyiv reported on Sunday that at least 32 people were killed in a Russian attack with two ballistic missiles on Sumy.

According to the ministry, the talks will take place at the Turkish Naval Forces Headquarters. While the specific participating countries were not disclosed, officials confirmed that neither Ukraine nor Russia will be involved in the discussions. The meeting is expected to focus on security arrangements in the aftermath of a potential ceasefire agreement between the two warring nations.

The announcement comes as tensions remain high in the region. On Sunday, Ukrainian authorities reported that at least 32 people were killed in a Russian missile strike on the northeastern city of Sumy. Russia reportedly used two ballistic missiles in the attack. That same day, the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump extended for another year the sanctions targeting the Russian Federation, originally imposed by former President Joe Biden.
