Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is due to meet his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, in Sochi.

A just-concluded deal on freeing up Ukrainian grain, along with Russian backing for a new Turkish offensive against Syrian Kurdish forces will be on the agenda.

Erdogan’s Friday meeting with Putin will be the second time the two leaders have met in a month.

The meeting comes just after the first ship carrying Ukrainian grain left the Black Sea under a Turkey-U.N.-brokered deal between Kyiv and Moscow.
