The event sends scrap instead of weapons to Ukraine and provokes the continuation of war - Erdogan
Erdogan assured that Ankara adheres to a balanced policy on the Russian Federation and Ukraine and advocates the ceasefire as soon as possible. However, according to the Turkish leader, the current state of affairs indicates that the full -scale war will not end soon. The Turkish President added that he openly declares the fallacy of the West's position in this matter, which, he said, is "provoked" by Moscow and Kyiv. "They say they send weapons. They send all scrap metal to Ukraine," Erdogan said.
The Turkish leader acknowledged that any effort to achieve peace will now be no-sacrifice until the provocation of hostilities is ongoing. "Can you say that one of the parties now wins? No! There are no winners in this war, but there are many people who have lost. A large number of people are dying, and it is inappropriate to talk about the financial side," Erdogan emphasized.
According to Turkish President, Europe is guilty that the Russian Federation blocks it with gas supply, and fuel prices in the region are increasing. "Now they are looking for ways to overcome the winter season. Why didn't you think about it before? After all, in the hands of Russia an important resource. Instead, they now analyze the reserves of gas storage facilities," the Turkish leader added.
