Moscow does not want Turkish weapons to be used in Ukraine

On Wednesday, September 29, Putin's official spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Moscow considers the topic of military cooperation between Ukraine and Turkey to be a very important one, because Russia would not want Turkish weapons to be used to attack the unrecognized republics of Donbass (People's Republic of Luhansk and People's Republic of Donetsk - ed.). "Of course, we would not like, shall we say, hotheads, to use such arms systems to strike their own citizens of Ukraine,” the head of the Kremlin press service said. Turkey and Ukraine have been actively cooperating in the military sphere. In particular, Kiev supplies aircraft engines to Ankara, while Turkey sells its strike-reconnaissance drones to Ukraine and builds warships for the Ukrainian Navy.
