The war between Russia and Ukraine has reached a point that clearly threatens the safety of navigation in the Black Sea, Turkish President Erdogan stated.
"Targeted attacks on merchant ships in our exclusive economic zone signal a concerning escalation. Attacks on merchant ships in the Black Sea are unacceptable and I have warned all interested parties," Erdogan declared.
He also noted that Turkey had issued "the necessary warnings to all parties regarding such situations."
"We are also closely monitoring the activities that have taken place in recent weeks aimed at ending the war and we express our readiness to make the necessary contribution at every opportunity," Erdogan concluded.
It is recalled that two tankers belonging to the Russian shadow fleet were previously attacked off the coast of Turkey. Ukrainian media, citing sources, reported that it was an SBU operation.
