Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has called the Russia-Ukraine war a “war of destruction” and warned that as the war spreads geographically, it could reach the point where Russia resorts to its “last option,” that is, nuclear weapons.
In an interview with Anadolu Agency, Fidan said the issue had emerged during discussions with Russian counterparts and that Western countries were aware of the danger. Fidan said that during a recent visit to Russia, the issue had come close to being raised in talks with his counterparts because “the public is now demanding such a thing.”
“We also told the Westerners this, and the Westerners know it,” he added.
