Turkey reported on the idea of “local truces” in Ukraine

PErdogan’s representative: the conflict in Ukraine will end only after a deal between Russia and the West, Turkey will promote the idea of “local truces” and other de-escalation measures, the official representative of the Turkish president said. Also, according to him, peace in Ukraine is impossible without a “big deal” between the West and Russia

Turkey reported on the idea of

Ibrahim Kalyn

Turkey intends to promote the idea of local truces in Ukraine, and also advocates the conclusion of a “big deal” between Russia and the West. This was stated to journalists by the official representative of the Turkish president Ibrahim Kalyn, reports TASS.

“Turkey intends to promote the idea of local truces and small local de-escalation measures,” he said.

Kalyn also noted that the conflict in Ukraine can end only if a “big deal” is concluded between Russia and the West. “The key point here is the broader geopolitical picture, where Russia wants to make a new deal with the West, primarily with the United States. Therefore, it is necessary to conclude some kind of big deal that will have to settle larger geopolitical issues between Russia and the Western bloc. Otherwise, the war will drag on for a long time,” he pointed out.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has repeatedly called on Western countries to engage in dialogue with Russia, and also organized several peace summits in Istanbul, which, however, did not yield serious results. Ankara believes that Western countries will face “endless costs” due to the isolation of Russia, and also do not agree to impose sanctions against Moscow.

In January, Turkey also supported the peace formula proposed by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, which he presented at the G20 summit in November. The plan assumes radiation, food and energy security, the release of all prisoners, the restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine, the withdrawal of Russian troops and the cessation of hostilities, countering ecocide, preventing escalation and fixing the fact that the conflict is over.

In response, the Russian Foreign Ministry expressed disagreement with Turkey’s position. “We are well aware of Turkey’s assessment of the so-called Zelensky peace plan, we cannot agree with it, Ankara’s support for this venture of the Kiev regime is unlikely to contribute to the search for optimal ways to achieve peace in Ukraine, we have repeatedly spoken about the unacceptability of this plan for our country,” said the official representative of the Ministry Maria Zakharova.

Prigozhin spoke about attempts to cut funding for Wagner’s PMCs

Evgeny Prigozhin reported on the “struggle inside” and an attempt to cut funding for Wagner’s PMCs. The founder of the PMCs noted that there is a “serious struggle” in Russia for the Wagnerians to leave Africa. According to him, the company is facing opposition and attempts to cut funding

Prigozhin spoke about attempts to cut funding for Wagner's PMCs

In addition to the US attempts to “squeeze out” Wagner’s PMCs from Africa, “a serious struggle” on this issue continues inside Russia: the company faces opposition and attempts to cut funding. This was announced by the founder of the PMCS Evgeny Prigozhin, a comment published by his press service.

“The Americans can’t move us out of Africa in any way. However, there is a serious struggle in Russia for us to leave there. Many people do not like the fact that Russia can conduct its own independent policy. And therefore there is serious opposition, including attempts to cut funding, so that I could not support groups on the territory of the African continent,” he said.

In January 2022, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrel, said that Wagnerians control all key security issues in the CAR. At that time, he stated that the PMCs fighters had already settled in Mali and that now the situation in this country is likely to worsen. The Russian authorities have confirmed the presence of one of the Russian PMCs in Mali.

In December 2021, the Council of the European Union for Foreign Affairs imposed sanctions against the Wagner PMCs and a number of persons associated with it. The document stated that the Wagner Group was responsible for serious human rights violations in Ukraine, Syria, Libya, the Central African Republic (CAR), Sudan and Mozambique, including torture and extrajudicial, mass or arbitrary executions and killings.

Prigozhin in September 2022 admitted that he was the founder of the Wagner PMCs.The businessman also repeatedly reported on the course of the special operation in Ukraine, where the PMCs fighters are actively involved. On January 13, he said that they were trying to steal the victory from the soldiers of the military company and belittle their merits as part of the Russian special operation. Prigozhin expressed the opinion that significant damage to PMCs can be caused by “intraspecific struggle, corruption, bureaucracy and officials who want to stay in their places”. According to him, recently the media has been actively working to prohibit the mention of Wagner’s PMCs.

Vucic urged the Kosovo Prime Minister not to pretend to be a “new

RTC: Vucic said that the Prime Minister of Kosovo Kurti is building a new Zelensky in vain The Serbian leader recalled that the Prime Minister of Kosovo Albin Kurti is “trying to present himself as a victim” and compared these attempts with Zelensky’s behavior

Vucic urged the Kosovo Prime Minister not to build a

Albin Kurti

The Prime Minister of the partially recognized Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, is trying in vain to pretend to be a new Vladimir Zelensky, Serbian President Alexander Vucic said, his words are quoted by RTC.

Journalists asked the Serbian leader to comment on Kurti’s words that the borders of Serbia and Kosovo have become the borders of Russia and NATO. “Vucic replied that this is another of the desperate messages where Kurti is trying to present himself as a victim, the new Zelensky, and his “little Putin”, the material says.

“I didn’t know that Kurti had become [representing] NATO as well. If he is a NATO border, I can only tell him that Serbia has its own borders. These are not Russian or NATO borders, they are established by the UN Charter and UN Security Council Resolution 1244,” Vucic pointed out.

The situation in Kosovo and relations with Serbia worsened in mid-December due to the arrest in the republic of a policeman and ethnic Serb Dejan Pantic, who, along with some colleagues, refused to continue serving in the local police. Residents of the north of Kosovo began to erect barricades in their residential areas, and Vucic threatened to introduce a military contingent to the north of the province.

On December 28, Vucic asked the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija to dismantle the barricades. The Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija under the Serbian government, Petar Petkovic, said that Belgrade had received guarantees from Washington and Brussels that the Serbs who participated in the installation of barricades would not be prosecuted.

The Kosovo security forces, in turn, promised that they would not deploy forces to the north of the region without the consent of the KFOR mission. Belgrade and Pristina have also agreed that Pantic will be transferred to house arrest. On December 29, Serbs in northern Kosovo began dismantling barricades.

Forbes spoke about Turkey’s “drone diplomacy” in the CIS countries

Aboutexperts asked by Forbes note that Turkish drones are superior to Russian and Iranian counterparts, and that Ankara may soon become a leader in the UAV market in Central Asia, thereby increasing political influence in the region

Forbes talked about

Bayraktar TB2

Turkey, promoting “drone diplomacy”, may soon become a major player in the UAV market in Central Asia and strengthen its economic and political influence, writes Forbes.

According to the publication, Central Asian countries have been importing an unprecedented number of military drones since the early 2020s, including from Turkey, Russia and Iran. Ankara, in particular, exported its well-known Bayraktar TB2 drone to Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan and reached an agreement with Kazakhstan on the production of Anka-S drones.

Experts interviewed by Forbes believe that Turkey is likely to take a central place in the drone market in the region, “because for her it is more than just military cooperation.” With the help of “drone diplomacy”, the country expects to strengthen political and economic cooperation with the members of the Organization of Turkic States (Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan). For example, Bayraktars tip the scales in favor of Kyrgyzstan in the border conflict with Tajikistan, the newspaper notes.

Nevertheless, drone diplomacy is not without risks, in particular, it can provoke retaliatory actions by China, Russia and Iran, Forbes points out. “Faced with strong objections from Kyrgyzstan, Turkey was unable to complete the sale of drones to Tajikistan, which then turned to Iran and signed a deal with Tehran,” said Professor at American University and senior researcher at the Orion Institute of Politics Suleiman Ozeren.

At the same time, Samuel Bendett, a research analyst at the Center for Naval Analysis, noted that the sales of TB2 to Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan are a clear sign that these countries expect to take a share in the market of Turkish drones. “It is likely that the Central Asian countries will maintain an open policy and will purchase drones from different countries, as well as invest in domestic UAV developments, as in Kazakhstan today,” the expert pointed out.

The main export drones of Turkey are Bayraktar TB2 and Bayraktar AKINCI, manufactured by Baykar Makina. They are equipped with artificial intelligence, capable of launching cruise missiles and carrying up to 1350kg of cargo. The company previously reported that it sells UAVs for export to 13 countries, but did not specify the list. Defense News, citing sources, previously reported that the potential buyers of Bayraktar are the United Kingdom, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Saudi Arabia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Slovakia and Uruguay.

Almost all residents of Hungary opposed the EU anti-Russian sanctions

InHungarian authorities reported 97% of citizens opposed to EU anti-Russian sanctions The vast majority (97%) of Hungarians who participated in the national consultation opposed EU sanctions against Russia that harm Europeans. The sanctions policy needs to be reviewed, the Hungarian Cabinet said

Almost all Hungarian residents opposed the EU anti-Russian sanctions

Almost all Hungarian residents (97%) who participated in the national consultation spoke out against EU sanctions against Russia, said Alexandra Szentkirayi, a representative of the Hungarian government. The broadcast was carried out on the Facebook page of the Hungarian Cabinet of Ministers (owned by Meta, which is recognized as extremist and banned in Russia).

“We have the results of consultations: 97% of Hungarians reject sanctions that cause serious damage. The message is clear: the sanctions policy in Brussels should be reviewed,” a summary of Sentkiraiya’s speech is given in the description of the video.

She pointed out that the sanctions imposed on Russia due to the special operation in Ukraine could not stop the fighting, but caused “extreme economic difficulties” for Europe. During the consultations, the majority of Hungarians opposed the sanctions, which lead to an increase in food prices and hinder tourism in Europe.

According to her, the result of the consultations is a “guide for Hungarian public figures”, and they will work to make these results heard in Brussels. At the end of the video, the government representative thanked almost 1.4 million people who expressed their opinion. The detailed result will be presented later.

The national consultations in Hungary took place from October 14 to December 15, 2022. Residents of the country answered questions whether they agreed with the sanctions imposed on the Russian energy sector, as well as restrictions that affect tourism and food prices.

Hungary is one of the few EU countries that opposes anti-Russian sanctions and the severance of relations with Moscow. The country’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has repeatedly called the sanctions policy against Moscow a failure and called for the lifting of restrictions. He also criticized the allocation of significant support to Ukraine from the European Union, considering that Europe is increasingly involved in the conflict.
