A Greek official said on Sunday that Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan will meet with Nato director common Mark Rutte on Monday to talk about the most recent developments in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
In response to Kyiv’s usage of US and European weapons against Russia, Russia fired a new hypersonic medium-range ballistic missile into Ukraine on Thursday, escalating the conflict that started with Moscow’s February 2022 full-scale invasion of its neighbor.
Nato part Turkey, which has condemned the Russian war, says it supports Ukraine’s territorial integrity and it has provided Kyiv with military aid.
But Turkey, a Black Sea ally of both Russia and Ukraine, even opposes American restrictions against Moscow, with which it shares significant military, energy and hospitality relationships.
On Wednesday, Erdogan opposed a US decision to allow Ukraine to employ long-range missiles to strike inside Russia, saying it would further aggravate the issue, according to a display shared by his company.
Moscow claims that the US and its allies are in direct conflict with Russia because it approved the launch of American missiles from a serious inside Russia. Putin approved scheme adjustments on Tuesday that lower the legal bar for Russia to use nuclear arms in response to normal weapon attacks.
Erdogan and Rutte will also explain the elimination of NATO allies and the military group’s combined fight against terrorism during their discussions on Monday, the Greek national said.
