Lavrov warns Turkey against arming Ukraine, calls it a destructive move

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has told his Turkish counterpart that continuing weapons supplies to Ukraine is a "destructive" course. Turkey, which shares a maritime border with both Ukraine and Russia, has tried to maintain neutrality in the conflict but has provided armament to Ukraine, including combat drones and cluster bombs. The ministers also discussed the return of commanders of Ukraine's Azov nationalist battalion, but no details were provided. Both diplomats emphasized the importance of strengthening trust in their countries' relations based on agreements between their presidents.
