🇹🇷🇺🇸🇷🇺Turkey has restricted the export of U.S.-made military-grade goods to Russia following a warning from Washington about potential “consequences,” according to the Financial Times, citing sources
Sources revealed that in recent weeks, Ankara adjusted its customs systems to block the export of more than 40 categories of U.S.-origin products deemed crucial for the Russian military by Washington and its Western allies. These goods include electronics used in missiles and drones.
The introduction of the restrictions was not publicly announced due to the “political sensitivity” of the matter, the newspaper added.
