The CIA has been attempting to get Turkey to send their Russian supplied air defence systems, including the advanced S-400, to Ukraine. As reciprocation, America would supply Turkey with new air defence systems and allow the purchase of F-35 fighters. The fighters had been embargoed last year after Turkey received the S-400's from Russia. Turkey is not surprisingly unwilling to play along with this game.
Following Biden's phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Foreign Minister Wang Yi has said that all foreign attempts to coerce and affect China's assessment of events in Ukraine will fail.
Washington has offered Ankara to hand over S-400 air defence systems to Ukrainian troops, Reuters has reported.
Earlier, former CIA official Paul Kolbe suggested that Turkey should play a "triple game" against Russia. He believes that if the Turks send their S-400s to Ukraine to attack Russian warplanes, the US will supply Ankara with other air defence systems in return. Besides, in such a case Washington is ready to resume deliveries of F-35 fighter-bombers to Turkey.
We shall remind you that the US authorities are now looking around the world for Russian or Soviet-made anti-aircraft missile systems, which Ukraine could use to counter Russian aviation and missiles.
Following Biden's phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Foreign Minister Wang Yi has said that all foreign attempts to coerce and affect China's assessment of events in Ukraine will fail.
Attempts by foreign countries to influence China's assessment of the events in Ukraine will fail, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has said. China bases its judgement on the "merits of the case", he said.
"We will never accept any external coercion and pressure, and we also oppose any baseless accusations and suspicions against China," Wang Yi said.
