We emphasize that the crisis between the Russian Federation and Ukraine must be resolved peacefully, in accordance with international law and within the framework of respect for the territorial integrity of Ukraine, on all types of international platforms.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from Turkish National Defense Minister Hulusi Akar.

"Our country carries out various cooperation activities with the Russian Federation, Ukraine and allied countries in the field of defense industry, as well as in many areas. One of them is UAVs sold to Ukraine.

Ukraine has the supply and use of these systems. Therefore, Turkey cannot be blamed for these export systems. It should be noted that Ukraine is a member of NATO's Enhanced Opportunity Partnership. In this context, increasing Ukraine's defense capabilities is one of the items of NATO's Individual Partnership Country Plan. "As a NATO country, Turkey contributes to increasing Ukraine's defense capabilities, both bilaterally and within NATO," Akar said.
