MOSCOW: Turkiye is worried by a recent uptick in attacks on civilians in the Ukraine war, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Tuesday during a visit to Moscow. Turkiye is casting itself as a potential peacemaker between Moscow and Kyiv, seeking to bring the four-year war that has killed hundreds of thousands to a close. “The recent escalation in the Ukraine war and the danger of its geographical expansion are a source of serious concern,” Fidan said at a press conference alongside his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.
