“The international situation is now more inclined towards war than peace. The leading forces of the West are the ones actively supporting it,” said Turkish presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin.

The Turkish presidential spokesman further asserted that the conflict in Ukraine could be called “Cold War 2.0”, and that it was a war between Russia and the West, not between Moscow and Kiev.

Newsweek quoted former Arizona gubernatorial candidate and American politician Kari Lake as saying that if the US stopped sending money and weapons to the Kiev government, the conflict in Ukraine would end.

'I believe that the United States should stop allocating money to this conflict, and bring Mr. Zelensky and Mr. Putin together. Call them to the negotiating table, and say: Let's make peace, we need it,' - politician Kari Lake expressed her opinion.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly said that his country wants peace talks, and accused Ukraine of refusing to talk. Meanwhile, Kiev and its allies accuse Moscow of trying to “buy time” to redeploy and concentrate its forces.

“I have said many times that the escalation of hostilities leads to unnecessary losses. All armed conflicts end one way or another with some kind of diplomatic negotiations. Sooner or later, any of the parties to the conflict will sit down and come to an agreement. The sooner those who oppose us realize this, the better. We have never given up on negotiations,” Putin stressed in a previous statement.

Currently, the US continues to increase military aid to Ukraine, while Russia does not limit its defense spending, causing the conflict to drag on, causing damage to all sides.
