If a Russian operation begins to force Ukraine to peace, Turkey and other NATO members could hit Russia in the back.
Former Minister of Defense of the DPR Igor Strelkov stated this on the Internet channel Roy TV, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Strelkov, at a minimum, Turkey can strike in Syria.
“If the Russian Federation is unable to crush Ukraine within a couple of weeks and, moreover, if it suffers some local defeats, which is possible, then I believe that a number of “partners” may even become bolder and send their troops to Ukraine.
The first candidate is Türkiye. Quietly, having made sure that a bloody push-pull has begun, in which the Russian Federation is not ready to take Ukraine to the sword, Turkey will try to carry out an operation in Syria and, it is possible that it will even send some troops to the territory of Ukraine and use forces and means.” “, Strelkov said.
