NATO message to Turkey: We were clear about sanctions on Russia, Tsavousoglu informed

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg said Turkey had been informed that the alliance expected all members to impose sanctions on Russia.

He said the conflict in Ukraine should not escalate into a war between Russia and NATO, which would lead to a large number of casualties.

NATO has called on all European allies to increase their defense budgets, Stoltenberg said: “Yes, we expect all our partners to impose sanctions. It is a way of forcing Russia to pay the price. “Turkey has a role to play here,” Stoltenberg said.

“NATO understands Ukraine ‘s frustration with the alliance’ s reluctance to close the skies, but the escalation will lead to casualties and suffering abroad,” Stoltenberg concluded.
