Russia’s attack on Ukraine violates international law and is “unacceptable,” a Turkish security summit chaired by the Turkish president said on Thursday.
“At the summit, it was stated that this attack of Russia, which destroyed the (2014) Minsk Accords, violated international law and was unacceptable,” Turkiye’s Communication Directorate said in a statement.
The intervention began with Russian troops entering conflict-torn eastern Ukraine, whose war involving Russian-backed separatists the Minsk accords were meant to address.
At the summit, Turkiye’s leadership vowed to continue supporting Ukraine’s political unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
The summit also evaluated initiatives by Russia and international platforms to stop the attacks on Ukraine, which it said threatens regional and global security.
The summit was chaired by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the presidential complex and lasted almost two hours.
