Turkey has refused to sanction Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
While an ostensible member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Turkey now has no desire to sanction Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu made this announcement on March 1, 2022. “As a principle, we didn’t participate in such sanctions in a general sense. We have no intention of joining in these sanctions, either,” Çavuşoğlu announced on Turkish TV news channel Haberturk.
Since Russia commenced its controversial military operation on February 24, 2022, it has been sharply criticized by Western countries, who have gone the extra mile by sanctioning it.
