Turkey will continue providing Ukraine with military aid from its own stocks and through PURL – Erdogan

Turkey will continue supporting Ukraine by supplying weapons from its own military stockpiles and through the PURL initiative, while also using its communication channels with Russia to encourage a peaceful resolution to the war.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said this before the opening of the NATO summit, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"In addition to the military support we have provided to Ukraine from our national inventory, we will continue our contribution under the PURL initiative. While supporting Ukraine, we are also using our communication channels with Russia to encourage it toward peace," Erdogan said.

He stressed that Turkey supports diplomatic efforts aimed at achieving a lasting peace in Ukraine and shares U.S. President Donald Trump's vision of ending the war.
