Russia accuses Turkey of breaching the agreement for the delivery of Azovstal fighters to Ukraine
The Russian government has reproached Turkey this Saturday for breaching the agreement reached with this country after the handover of five Ukrainian fighters from Azovstal, in Mariupol, to the Ukrainian authorities.
“The return of the leaders of the ‘Azovites’ from Turkey to Ukraine is nothing more than a direct violation of the terms of the existing agreements,” said the spokesman for the Russian Presidency, Dimitr Peskov.
“Even more. In this case the terms have been breached by both Ukraine and Turkey,” he added, according to official Russian media.
The agreement provided for the delivery of the fighters to Turkey and their stay in that country until the end of the conflict, recalled Peskov, who stressed that Russia has not been informed of the delivery of these fighters.
