Turkey and Greece on Sunday postponed their next round of technical negotiations on the Eastern Mediterranean, Anadolu Agency reported citing security sources.

The seventh meeting had been planned for Monday at the NATO Headquarters, where the two sides' military delegations would have discussed technical details on coordinating the safe functioning of their elements in the region.

Both sides agreed on the delay, which was due to technical reasons.

Both countries' military delegations have been engaged in a series of NATO-hosted technical talks since Sept. 10.

The last round of talks had been held on Sept. 29.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Saturday that his latest conversation with US President Donald Trump this week was the best and "most productive" he has had to date.

"Regarding the conversation with the president of the United States, which took place a day earlier, it was probably the best conversation we have had during this whole time, the most productive," Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address.

"We discussed air defense issues and I'm grateful for the willingness to help. The Patriot system is precisely the key to protection against ballistic threats."

Zelenskiy said the two leaders had discussed "several other important matters" that officials from the two sides would be considering in forthcoming meetings.

Trump told reporters on Friday that he had a good call with Zelenskiy and restated his disappointment at a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin over what he said was Moscow's lack of willingness to work toward a ceasefire.

Asked whether the United States would agree to supply more Patriot missiles to Ukraine, as requested by Zelenskiy, Trump said: "They're going to need them for defense... They're going to need something because they're being hit pretty hard."

Russia has intensified air attacks on Kyiv and other cities in recent weeks. Moscow's forces launched the largest drone attack of the 40-month-old war on the Ukrainian capital hours after Trump's conversation with Putin on Thursday.
