Russian top diplomat questions Turkey's role in Ukraine situation
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
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
