In other news, Erdogan has organized a big meeting with Putin (big = a lot of cabinet members present). Obviously full agenda isn't public, Turkey is at least pushing to get Russia back to the grain deal.
Zelenskiy has also fired Ukraine's defense minister for unspecified reasons beyond "a need for new direction". This could be anything really. Maybe it's part of the corruption housecleaning, maybe the war is going poorly, maybe genuine mistakes have been made, maybe there's a key policy disagreement, maybe the current guy is just burned out. Still, not a typical move during a war.
