Grain is not being transported from Russia yet, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said at a press conference with his Croatian counterpart Zoran Milanovic.

"Therefore, Russian President Vladimir Putin is right in his remarks," the Turkish president said.

"On the other hand, grain is transported to rich countries, not poor ones. Grain should also be sent to poor countries. At the same time, we want the grain to be transported from Russia. We look forward to it. We will discuss this issue with Putin in Samarkand," he said.
