Putin, in a conversation with Erdogan, raised the issue of the use of the Armed Forces of the Turkish UAV Bayraktar in the Donbas, in Turkey they commented
The Russian President held a telephone conversation with his Turkish counterpart, as reported by the Kremlin press service. During the conversation, the two leaders touched upon several main issues of the modern agenda, including the issue of negotiations between the authorities of Armenia and Azerbaijan, which took place the other day with the mediation of Vladimir Putin.
A separate topic of conversation was the use by the Armed Forces of Ukraine of shock drone "Bayraktar" Turkish production in the Donbass. Vladimir Putin, in a conversation with Recep Tayyip Erdogan, noted that the Ukrainian authorities continue the destructive line of disrupting the Minsk agreements. The President of Russia pointed out that instead of fulfilling its part of its obligations, Kyiv continues to use weapons, including strike weapons, which include the Bayraktar UAV, previously acquired from Turkey as part of the party drones.
The President of Russia noted that all attempts to forcefully influence Kiev on Donbass are frankly destructive. Also, the Russian president noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to commit provocations.
The Turkish press is commenting on these statements by Vladimir Putin. Once again it is noted that after the sale of Bayraktar drones, they already de jure cease to be Turkish, “becoming Ukrainian”. Thus, Ankara again makes it clear that the entire responsibility for the use of shock drones in Donbas rests entirely on the shoulders of the Ukrainian authorities. Ankara points out that this is a common practice in the sale of arms. It was also added that the internationally supported weapons embargo.
It should be added that during the telephone conversation the issue of compliance with the agreements on the Syrian Arab Republic was also raised.
