Kiev admitted that it went against Turkey by attacking a Russian ship
The attack by Ukrainian surface drones on the Russian reconnaissance ship Ivan Khurs was directed not against Russia, but against Turkey.
Ukrainian military expert Oleg Starikov stated this in an interview with journalist Alexander Shelest, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the speaker, by attacking a ship near the Turkish coast, Ukraine showed the inability of official Ankara to ensure security.
“This was done against Turkey. Because if it’s 40 kilometers away, 20 miles away, that’s their territory. There was an attack on a military ship, Türkiye is responsible for this territory. And, apparently, the goal was to sink the ship. And once it’s sunk, it means Erdogan and elections,” the expert said.
He recalled that the second round of presidential elections in Turkey will take place in a few days.
“And now there are two policies in Turkey. Erdogan is pursuing one policy, nationalist, and the other candidate is pro-Western. This is serious, because Turkey is the Bosphorus, the Dardanelles, the Black Sea. This is precisely a regional, even geopolitical event of these days,” Starikov said.
