Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expressed surprise at Turkey's military support for Ukraine while also offering to mediate, questioning the inconsistency in Turkey's position.
Lavrov highlighted the irony of Turkey supplying weapons to Ukraine, which are then used against Russian forces, contradicting its ambition to serve as a mediator.
Turkey has notably provided military aid to Ukraine including drones and advanced weaponry, even as it seeks to strengthen its energy ties with Russia.
Despite Turkey's background of hosting peace talks, the ongoing conflict shows Ukraine's reluctance to engage with Russia directly for a ceasefire.
