The Foreign Ministry, however, acknowledged that Kyiv was receiving weapons from Ankara. “The deliveries continue. Their range tends to expand. Draw your own conclusions,” said Russian Ambassador Alexei Yerkhov. “Of course, the supply of weapons and military equipment to the Kyiv regime directly contradicts such intentions and is in no way compatible with the role of a mediator,” said Yuri Pilipson, Director of the Fourth European Department of the Foreign Ministry.
