Four Russian warships that had joined the Black Sea could not go through Turkish Straits, locked by Ankara since the beginning of the week. Responding to a “friendly” Turkey, Moscow renounced transiting its ships, said Turkish Foreign Minister, Mevlüt Cavusoglu, in an interview at the Hatertürk chain, Tuesday 1 er March. “We told Russia not to send these ships and Russia said they would not cross the Strait,” he explained.
Monday, Ankara announced that it has closed the straps of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles under the Convention of Montreux, signed in 1936. This agreement allows him to prevent military buildings from going in wartime unless they return their bases. “Russia said four of his vessels would cross the Strait on 27 and 28 February. Three of them are not based in the Black Sea,” said Turkish diplomacy.
The Straits of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles connect the Mediterranean Sea to the Black Sea, from which Russia launched its invasion from the south of Ukraine. Long before the start of the assault, many Russian ships were already positioned on the Black Sea.
Commercial Links
From 9 to 16 February, six landing vessels and a submarine crossed the Bosphorus towards the Crimean Peninsula, the Ukrainian peninsula attached by Russia. Heavily solicited by the pro-Western government of Kiev, Ankara ended up closing the transition to all warships except those whose attachment port is in the Black Sea.
While condemning Russian aggression, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attempts to house Russia, which provides gas (34% of consumption), wheat, anti-aircraft missiles, a nuclear power plant operated at 100 % by the Russian giant Rosatom and more than four million tourists a year.
Commercial links are also excellent with Ukraine, who bought Bayraktar TB2 drones and had to produce on his floor. The mixed company created between Baykar, the producer of TB2, and the Ukrainian company Ukrspetsexport had just acquired a land located not far from Vassylkiv’s air base, 53 kilometers from Kiev, where there is a center. A center control of drones. After defending by the Ukrainian army, the base has been targeted five days ago by Russian missiles that have reached fuel deposits, causing a huge fire.
