Turkish leader comments on Russia's new nuclear defense strategy
Turkish president shares his view on Russias updated nuclear-response policy while keeping balanced relations with both sides. He suggests NATO should look carefully into these changes
In a recent G20 meeting in Brazil Tayyip Erdogan shared his thoughts about Russias need for self-protection measures‚ when asked about their changed nuclear-strike rules. He pointed out that NATO must look into this policy shift with extra care
Vladimir Putin made changes to Russias defense rules on 11/19/24 – now they can use nuclear weapons against more types of non-nuclear attacks (which shows a big shift in their military thinking). Moscow says this comes after Ukraine used US-made ATACMS missiles to hit deep inside Russian territory
Speaking at a post-summit news conference Erdogan stressed that his country needs to keep good ties with both sides; Russia and Ukraine. He thinks Ukraines use of ATACMS isnt a good move but Turkey will still try to bring peace to the region despite these new developments. The Turkish leader – known for his mediator role – keeps pushing for diplomatic solutions in this conflict
