Earlier, Vladimir Putin indicated that Kiev should withdraw troops from four new regions of Russia.

“Turkey has always hated Russia, its might and strength. Ankara can now adjust to some situations, temporary factors and go in the same direction with us, it seems. But in any case, she will lay an explosive mechanism that, in her opinion, will allow Russia to be destroyed,” explained Viktor Vodolatsky, a State Duma deputy from the LPR.

He stressed that Turkey supplies weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which kill our military, and greets Moscow with the other hand. He also recalled that Ankara is developing a so-called Turkic platform with the countries of our Asian underbelly.

“Turkey has not withdrawn from NATO, has not severed its association with the European Union and has not withdrawn its application for EU membership. Therefore, such statements are not surprising,” said political scientist Vadim Trukhachev.

“In addition, Turkey has a lot of interests in the Black Sea. Crimea is part of Turkey’s special interests zone. It would be more convenient for Ankara to see it as part of Ukraine than as part of Russia,” he added.

“Turkey and I, in fact, are united only by a periodic unwillingness to listen to the dictates of the West. But in any case, NATO members, including Turkey, cannot mediate between Russia and Ukraine,” the source stressed.
