Unless all parties from Brussels to the Kremlin give realistic diplomacy a chance, the escalating military confrontation will never stop

Turkey, which did not recognize the annexation of Crimea, supports Ukraine’s territorial integrity. At the same time, it wants Russia and Ukraine – countries, with which it has cordial relations – to resolve the Donbass crisis through negotiations.
