A senior Russian diplomat has complained to Turkey about the"aggressive behavior" of Ukraine's military, as fierce fighting continues on multiple fronts amid freezing winter conditions.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin spoke to reporters on Monday after meetings with Turkish officials in Istanbul, Russia's state-run Tass news agency reported. The diplomat criticized Ukraine and the U.S., accusing both of undermining potential peace talks. "We tried to provide Turkey with detailed information about the real situation on the ground, highlighting the totally aggressive behavior of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and its attacks on civilians in Donbas and other Russian regions," Vershinin said.
"It was crucial for us to make Turkey understand the situation that Western media outlets keep distorting, unfortunately. False reports have popped up in large numbers."
