After years of the aggressive propaganda about the supposed ‘European path’ of the current Kiev regime, even most vocal Western supporters of this narrative seem to be not interested in the fate of the Ukrainian state. After the 2014 coup, Ukraine was turned into a colony of the Washington establishment and the European bureaucracy and empty words cannot change this. In own turn, Kiev, which still makes ritual statements about the partnership with the West and carefully follows orders from its foreign masters is barely able to convince Ukrainian citizens that somebody in the West is really interested to push Ukraine towards the bright future. So, the time for new ‘good friends’ has come.
In this conditions, the Kiev regime turned towards Turkey, which is happy to use the situation in Ukraine and the factor of Crimea (which Turkey has for years wanted to seize or at least turn into its sphere of influence using the ‘Crimean Tatars’ factor) to create some additional points of pressure on its partners in Moscow and improve its negotiating positions in a variety of economic, diplomatic and military questions.
On Friday 16, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky met in Istanbul, held talks and pelged to develop their “strategic partnership in every field in which they have mutual benefits”.
Commenting on the current state of the Turkish-Ukrainian relations, the Turkish leader said the two countries have been taking steps for a trade volume of 10 billion U.S. dollars shortly, noting the recent developments in the field of tourism are promising. The leaders also agreed to conclude the free trade agreement negotiations between the two countries in short order.
“Despite the global pandemic, we hosted more than 500,000 Ukrainian guests this year, which clearly shows the closeness among our peoples and the trust of our Ukrainian guests in the measures we have taken as part of our safe tourism initiative,” Erdogan said.
Zelensky, for his part, said the number of Turkish companies involved in infrastructure projects in Ukraine should increase.
“I would like to note that we have very similar approaches regarding the energy investments,” he said.
However, what is more important is the growing military and security cooperation between the states. Minister of Defense of Ukraine Andriy Taran and President of Defense Industries of Turkey İsmail Demir signed a Memorandum of Intent between the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Presidency of Defense Industries of the Republic of Turkey on the projects in the defense-industrial sphere.
According to Ukrainian 112 TV channel:
The memorandum enshrines the desire of Ukraine and Turkey to develop their defense-industrial programs and strengthen defense capabilities, as well as to establish mutually beneficial long-term cooperation based on mutual respect and consideration of each other’s interests. The document outlines the intentions of the parties to launch and implement joint projects for the construction of warships, UAVs and all types of turbine engines.
Also sides signed a Framework Military Agreement between the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the Government of the Republic of Turkey. The agreement is concluded in order to create a legal basis for the expansion and deepening of existing Ukrainian-Turkish cooperation in the field of defense, as well as defines the procedure for such cooperation. The document, in particular, defines the areas of cooperation, principles of cooperation, security regime of classified information, the procedure for exchanging intelligence information, legal regulation of the activity of specialists seconded by each party, compensation for possible damages, dispute resolution, etc.
Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine and Turkey “have a common vision of further cooperation in the field of security and defense, in particular security in the Black Sea and the implementation of Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantic course.”
Earlier in October, it became known that Ukraine was planning to buy multiple Bayraktar TB2 combat drones from Turkey. The Ministry of Defense reportedly planned to purchase 6-12 Bayraktar TB2 control stations and 3-4 drones for each complex.
“So, Ukraine plans to receive 48 drones, which the Ministry of Defense plans to put into service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the general director of the company “Ukrspetsexport” Vadim Nozdrya said.
The deepening military and economic ties between Turkey and Ukraine come amid the increasing Turkish influence in propaganda and social sphere. The current variant of the so-called Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People, currently based in Kiev and focused on spreading propaganda about the supposed persecutions of Crimean Tatars by Russia, has become an integral part of the Kiev regime propaganda regarding the future of Crimea if one day Kiev appears to be able to return it. At the same time, this organization has for years been acting as an agent of Turkish influence in Ukraine and has wide ties with various Turkish structures, including intelligence services.
In these conditions, the reaction of the ‘independent’ Orthodox Church of Ukraine (created in late 2018, early 2019 thanks to joint efforts of the Ukrainian government, the Washington establishment and the Constantinople Patriarchate) is so silent regarding the turning of Hagia Sophia into a mosque. Its leadership as well as Bartholomew I of Constantinople are more concerned by keeping good relations with the Erdogan government and trying to use the religious factor to increase own wealth rather than by pushing forward the interests of the Orthodox World. No surprise, Bartholomew I regularly complains about some ‘destructive’ influence of the Russian Orthodox Church because it does not support his political adventures and opportunism.
On the other hand, for Kiev, its pseudo patriots and pseudo-church structures that support them, there is nothing new in selling the country’s resources, national interests and even sovereignty for some own financial gains or a nice PR that could be used in the internal political games. So, there are little doubts that Mr. Erdogan will find a lot of ways to make a nice ‘friendship’ with his friends in Kiev.
So, there are little doubts that Mr. Erdogan will find a lot of ways to make a nice ‘friendship’ with his friends in Kiev.Are we jealous South-front?its okey…A little jealousy in a romantic relationship is undoubtedly natural:)))
The main reason for this cooperation are the flight engines technologies which Ukraine got from USSR. I could be wrong but as far as I remember, TB2 has Ukrainian engine. If mr. Bayraktar will be smart enough he will get this technologies for nothing. And I think, mrs. Bayraktar will help her husband and his brother.
Tb2 had Rotax 912 engine (austria)…Ukranian engines will help a lot no wonder ..We will see the results:)))
Ha-ha, you’ll see results for sure. Same as Iraq (cracks in armor), Thailand (10 years to build just 50 tanks), Croatia (issues with repair of planes) and Peru (contract for 1 or 2 transport planes cancelled, because many parts are made in Russia, but Kiev regime sanctioned trade of military production). Good luck, ha-ha-ha!
thanks for advice..ı’ll post you the results:)))
Don’t bother yourself, we will read about another new epic fail of ukrs in newspapers.) It’s almost inevetiable.
The masks of the 4th REIC fell
A SONG SPECIALLY DEDICATED TO ANGELA, RETZEP, ILHAN, ARIF TO Zelensky AND OF COURSE AL THANI. IT IS RIGHTED AS THE NEW AXIS OF EVIL. AS GENUINE CONTINUENTS OF THE NAZI.

When God wants to destroy you, you are going yourself to the madness path of your own destruction. For example, Turkey. All enemies of Russia are finding love in the hands of Turkey. And Turkey thinks this is going to last forever.
Or Ukraine today. “Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad”. No one can’t be more insane than those psychos in Kiev. People of Ukraine always had 3 enemies: Jews, Poles and Turks. and these maidan degenerates serve them all today…
Funny the Poles seem to have no problem supporting people who praise groups who murdered their people in cold blood, same with jewish zionists. Seems they forgot Babi Yar
NATO by any other name ……………………….
We all know Turkey is not to be trusted on.
They’re neither European, nor Arab, nor Muslims, nor “Westerner”, nor clear about the USA/Jews nor China/Russia/Iran, etc – no clear standing at all.
When a country is like that, it’s VERY likely it’s in the hand (or pockets?) of Jewish. Controlled opposition fake “patriots” wasting our time.
Go and do your house work young lady..

My prediction months ago was correct, Zelensky and Erdogan are one in the same, and an alliance between them was obvious. Trolls downvoted me like crazy. I was right all along ?.

wishful thinking, illusions—which nations does turkey possess a positive balance of trade with? perhaps Ukraine
Soon it will cost 10 million plus Lira to buy a loaf of bred in Turkey
The Turkish lira is getting smoked, will crash to new lows due to ‘unorthodox’ policies, analysts say

Why is Turkey’s economy falling? Among economists, the accelerating loss of value was generally attributed to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan preventing the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey from making the necessary interest rate adjustments. … Despite Erdogan’s opposition, Turkey’s Central Bank made sharp interest rates increases.

Putin is a wimp that’s why he has no allies
yet u poor Indians r required to purchase Russian jets, anti-missile systems, some produced in Goa w cheap Indian labor
Don’t answer to stupid ones. Indians are positive people mostly and quite smart, if not liberals.
BJP is more zionist oriented I’m afraid. Proud Hindu is one
The Jew has sold Ukraine to the Turkic sultan just like in the last.
the Ukraine economy has collapsed worse than turkey, USA—their main export is prostitutes. turkey is worsening precipitously—their lira just dove and they sold 1/3 of their foreign currency in order to prevent their currency from becoming toilet paper. US currency expected to decline 35% in 2 years as their housing bubble bursts by 2023…Russia and China possess reserves, little debt…ulike USA/turkey that have negative balance of trade w all nations, Russia has a positive trade balance w all nations
How are they handling the Biden fall out? No sweeteners coming out of Washington?
ahhahahaha why would anyone want to be friends with ukraine or torki for that matter?
Zelensky has been busy. Getting instructions from his good mates in the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, via his visit to Buck House. Signing upto the Lublin Triangle, with Poland and Lithuania and then an audience with Erdogan? When will he have time to fit in Biden and their chums in Burisma?
Talking of the Lublin Triangle, has anybody seen Russia’s Plan B to bypass The Baltic’s and the Polish influence?
“Russia’s Development Of A Railway Route Bypassing The Baltic States Was More Effective Than Expected” – article can be found on Stalker Zone.
Lublin is the place where Lublin’s union was signed giving the start to Rzeczpospolita. Phantom pain of polish empire. Members of Lublin triangle are possible victims of annexation. Authorities of Poland placed views of Vilnus and Lvov at some official documents. They could take even more, because even Kiev was in Poland before the middle of 17th century, when Russia returned this city after another war with Poland and paying 20 tons of silver as compensation. By the way, Estland and Livland (Estonia and half of modern Latvia) were bought from Sweden for 2 million golden thalers, so it’s not unique case when a war winner pays to losing side for lands.
Thanks for the informative reply. I think it was over on The Duran, that I saw the article with regards the Lublin Triangle and so much made sense, with regards Poland trying to colonise the old Soviet Members. The largest debtor nation in the EU, which is due to start repaying the EU loans, as well as having to pay the US to house the missiles and their forces on Polish territory. Poland appears to be very hungry for control at the moment and I wonder if she seriously believes she can compete against the ‘One Belt and Road’ project, just because she has the support of Washington and Atlantic Council behind her?
“The largest debtor nation in the EU” Is Greece (>150% of GDP) or Germany (2 trillion in dollars).
” I wonder if she seriously believes she can compete against the ‘One Belt and Road’ project, just because she has the support of Washington and Atlantic Council behind her?”
It’s geography. Poland is next to Germany – main point of new Silk way on its western end. Of course, goods can be delivered not via Poland, but you need 1) to build longer land railway/road, 2) use southern routes only, 3) or to reload cargo in port of Luga (near Sankt-Peterburg) to deliver it to Bremen or Lubeck. It makes delivering more expensive.
Sorry, meant Poland took the most from the EU, which she has to start paying back. Germany is a creditor nation, is she not?
Creditor and debtor in the same time. Polish got their money from EU in common. Germans, as i know, bought polish banks and some plants as the did it in CZ. “Skoda” is VW’s branch now.

Thanks for the two articles. Nice one.
Two rotten states allying, no surprises there.
U. is not even a state. Failed state with no future on political map.
Maidan, sharovary (pants), oseled (type of haircut) – words of turkic origin. There are a lot of turkic words in russian language, but population of southern parts of Russia have even more such words, because of bordering with crimean tatars and Middle Asian turcic-speaking ethnoses. So called Ukraina, Malorossia, is southern russian land. Same as Novorossia since 18th century (ex-Crimean hanate, vassal of Osmanian empire, i.e. Turkey). That’s why that jew Zelenskiy seeking for some hugs from turks. Yes, i know that my picture looks like an absurd. Ukraina is land of absurdity. He thinks that he could use turkish hostility against Russia. Poor idiot, Turkey doesn’t help to anybody except Turkey. That’s called pragmatism.
The stupidity in Kiev is strong. Ukrainians and Russians are from the same people. Something the fascists in Ukraine have a problem accepting. The Ukrainian Trident was a symbol from the Rurikids. The same Rurikids who include not just Olga (who was born in Pskov) and Vladimir, but Alexander Nevsky and Ivan IV (Ivan Grozniyy). We all know how the last two are celebrated in Russia. Kievan Rus (or Russkaya Zemlya, not “Ukraine”) actually started in Novgorod before being moved to Kiev.
This nazi state of sralo shall not exist. It is all territory of Russia.
