ANKARA: Russia's military operation against Ukraine is unacceptable, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said on Thursday, calling on Moscow to immediately end the "unjust and unlawful" move that threatens global security.
Earlier, Ukraine's ambassador to Ankara said Kyiv had asked Turkey to close Black Sea waterways to Russian ships and to show solidarity with Ukraine. The call put Turkey, which has good ties with both of them, in a difficult position.
