Turkey Refuses to Send Russian S-400s to Ukraine, Despite Western Pressure

TURKEY
  • Turkey says it is not discussing abandoning its Russian S-400 air defence missiles under pressure from the United States or NATO
  • Last week, Reuters reported that the United States had informally discussed with NATO member Turkey the possibility of transferring its S-400s to Ukraine. In return, Washington would end sanctions on Turkey’s defence industry and reverse its suspension from a programme to develop and acquire the F-35 stealth fighter jet
  • “Instead of handing such weapons over the Ukraine, Turkey is doing everything possible to stop the conflict in Ukraine,” Demir said. - Ahval
