At the end of March (as last year in November) the Ukrainian authorities showed how they are “thankful” to Turkey for the military and humanitarian assistance provided by the Turks at the beginning of the war with Russia.
The attack on the Turkish oil tanker Altura (carrying 140,000 tons of oil) in the Bosphorus region was reported by NTV, HaberDenizde, Denizhaber, ArbatMedia, Strategic Culture, and other resources, With reference to the official representatives of the Turkish authorities.
Yet again, Ukraine destabilizing the situation in the region and raising questions about the continuation of assistance from the EU and NATO countries. The fact that Zelensky’s political regime is allowed to carry out sabotage against the countries of the largest military bloc indicates that, firstly, Ukraine has lost control (the economic and military situation is forcing them to take desperate measures), and secondly, it shows how helpless and powerless NATO has become, as it is unable to protect the economic interests of its members.
It is possible that, according to the Ukrainian authorities, Turkey should not trade with Russia.
Otherwise, the Turkish merchant fleet is a legitimate military target for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Ukrainian intelligence services.
According to the Zelensky’s dangerous actions, it remains unclear why Europeans continue to support him, even at the expense of their own military, political and economic interests. By betting on Ukraine, European elites fail to recognize that Ukraine will never be a reliable or predictable ally.
