Ukraine's Ambassador to Ankara: 'Hundreds of Russian Soldiers Killed'

Ukraine's Ambassador to Ankara Bodnar talked about the latest developments regarding Russia's intervention in Ukraine.

Bodnar made the following statements in his speech: “According to the statements of the President of Ukraine, the main target of the occupation is itself. The second target is his family. Now tell me, how should a sane person target the president and his family? It is certainly not a sane and healthy man who waged such a war. We are fighting for our freedom. We will continue this as much as possible. Here I would like to thank Mr. Erdogan for his initiatives in this pursuit of peace. The important thing now is that Russia stops aggression. Hundreds of Russian soldiers were killed. I believe that our initiatives will bring Russia back to the negotiating table.

Ukraine, which calls for help, needs various products, especially food, medicine and fuel. I want you to pay special attention to the civilian casualties of this war. Women and children are dying. You can find dozens of photos of civilians who lost their lives, especially on the Internet.

I see that the Turkish side is with Ukraine in the messages of aid sent to Ukraine. There are no conflicts near government buildings. A saboteur wearing Ukrainian uniforms tried to create a panic in the community. These were destroyed.

The Turkish side is currently evaluating our request. Of course, we hope to receive this answer as soon as possible. Of course, we hope to receive a positive response.”
