🇹🇷 Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkey

🇷🇺 Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, placed final responsibility on the United States, which “cynically makes money from wars in different countries and on different continents” and “thoughtlessly distributes colossal money for weapons, loading up its military-industrial complex."
