Western countries have so far done nothing to ease the tension between Russia and Ukraine, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said.
His remarks came during a conversation with Turkish journalists returning, TASS reported.
“We closely follow the challenges Ukraine is facing. As a Black Sea country, we invite all parties to be moderate and engage in dialogue in order to bring peace to the region. I emphasize once again that we are ready to do our part for peace in the region,” he said at a press conference at Esenboga Airport before departing for Ukraine.
