Turkey is committed to seeking peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, Turkish media cited President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as saying on November 12, as he accused the United States and other Western countries of provoking Moscow. State broadcaster TRT and other media quoted Erdogan as saying: "The West, and especially the U.S., is attacking Russia seemingly endlessly," without elaborating on what he meant. Western countries have armed Kyiv and provided other assistance and have also imposed stringent sanctions on Moscow since its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine in February.
