That’s the first good thing that has come out of his mouth since I can remember.

Hasn't he supported Ukraine through this whole endeavor?

I believe Erdogan (and Turkey in general) were big players in getting the wheat trade deal settled, as well as the prisoner exchange, though I could be misremembering. It's just a weird situation of Erdogan having a history of centralizing power, but also making moves to be more relevant on the global stage.
