Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has accused NATO countries (which he did not name) of wanting a protracted war in Ukraine, in order to "weaken" Moscow.
"There are countries within NATO that want the war to continue," the Turkish diplomatic chief said Wednesday, adding that "their goal is to weaken Russia."
Russian-Ukrainian negotiations, which were hosted in Istanbul in late March and were to be resumed via video calls, appear to be at a standstill. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said today that the Ukrainians were "constantly backtracking" on the points on which an agreement had been reached.
Turkey has twice hosted negotiations between the two sides, the first on March 10 at ministerial level in Antalya and the second on March 29 in Istanbul.
