The Ukraine conflict could escalate into a broader one or even develop into a nuclear war, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has warned.
The official made the statement just days after the US announced almost $1 billion worth in additional military aid for Ukraine. In recent weeks, NATO officials have reportedly revived talks around potentially deploying Western troops into the conflict, an escalation Moscow has warned sharply against.
“We do not deny the possibility that the war will develop into a much more dangerous dimension, both geographically and potentially into the use of nuclear weapons,” Fidan said in the Turkish parliament on Tuesday.
Ankara will continue diplomatic efforts to try to bring the conflict to a peaceful close in 2025, he added. (RT)
