Türkiye criticises EU's lack of engagement with Ankara over a new military training mission for Ukrainian troops
Earlier this month, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell had announced that EU foreign ministers were expected to give the green light for a training mission for Ukrainian soldiers.
"The European Union, first, I have to say that we are very happy see the unity within the EU and NATO. The EU announced a new security training mission for Ukraine. And yet again, it ignored consulting with Türkiye before launching that mission," Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said at the Aspen-GMF Bucharest Forum on Tuesday in Romania.
Cavusoglu said that while it was not "important" whether Türkiye would be part of the mission, said this was "an example of how the EU lost its strategic thinking because of the narrow interests of a few members states." Emphasising the need to "re-discover the spirit of unity to ensure the new European security," the top Turkish diplomat said a "natural extension to that vision is being inclusive and reviving the enlargement prospects of the EU."
