There will be no clash: the Ukrainian ambassador estimated the likelihood of military confrontation between Turkey and the Russian Federation

"But as for the clash of the Russian and Turkish fleets, it is still an attempt to betray the desired. I doubt that Turkey could go to armed confrontation with Russia, as it means the involvement of all NATO countries. But if the Russian side started such actions, then She would simply open up the second front, "Bodnar said.

According to the ambassador, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can easily fire several foreign vessels, as they are little concerned about their own image and life of people on board. At the beginning of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian invaders fired at eight vessels that belonged to foreign owners, but this information was not widely distributed because the countries did not want to conflict with the Russian Federation.

Volodymyr Bodnar believes that the Turkish country will continue to make efforts to continue the "grain agreement" from which the Russian Federation came out. Although Russia seeks to replace Ukrainian grain and occupy the markets where Ukraine supplies its food, there are many mutual obligations between Russia and Turkey. There are few such partners in the Russian Federation, and therefore the Ankara has levers of influence on Moscow.

"There is a double danger, so it is necessary to solve the situation in a more or less peaceful way, because now it is unlikely that anyone but Ukraine can fight Russia," the ambassador summarized. Focus reported on July 19 that the Russian Federation would regard ships that are heading to the Black Sea in Ukrainian ports from July 20, as potential carriers of military cargo. And the countries whose flag will be posted on such ships will be considered involved in the war on the side of Ukraine.
