Russia's Dilemma: Turkey's Dual Role in Ukraine Conflict

Russia is puzzled by Turkey's stance in the Ukraine conflict. Despite Turkey's claim of mediating, it continues to supply arms to Ukraine, allegedly used against Russian forces. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed his surprise at this contradictory behavior in an interview with Hurriyet newspaper.

Russia has expressed its bewilderment over Turkey's approach towards the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Turkey's actions of arming Ukraine stand in stark contrast to its role as a mediator.

In an interview with Hurriyet newspaper, Lavrov pointed out that Turkish weapons are being utilized by Ukrainian forces against Russian soldiers and civilians. This, he said, was contrary to the Turkish government's public statements that it seeks to mediate between the two countries.

Lavrov's comments highlight a complex geopolitical scenario as Turkey balances its diplomatic relations while also influencing military dynamics in the region.
