Russian foreign minister points out contradictions in Turkeyʼs approach to Ukraine conflict. Statements highlight complex relationship between Moscow and Ankara in current military activities

Sergei Lavrov has raised eye-brows about Turkeyʼs two-sided position in the Ukraine situation: the country keeps sending military gear to Kyiv while offering peace-talks help

Turkish weapons are used by the Ukrainian armed forces to kill Russian military personnel and civilians

Lavrov told Hurriyet newspaper

The top-level Russian diplomat pointed out a hard-to-miss contradiction in Ankaraʼs actions (which include both weapon deliveries and peace talks offers). His comments came as Turkish-made equipment continues showing up in the conflict-zone

The russian foreign ministryʼs stance shows growing un-happiness with Turkeyʼs role: its trying to be both helper and peace-maker at once. This kind of mixed-up position doesnt sit well with Moscowʼs view of who should be trusted as a go-between
