Turkey and US will coordinate response to Ukraine war, Ankara says

ANKARA: Turkey and the United States will remain in"close coordination" as they work for a diplomatic solution to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said after talks between the NATO allies' deputy foreign ministers on Saturday .

Turkey shares a maritime border with Ukraine and Russia in the Black Sea and has good ties with both countries. Ankara has called Russia's assault unacceptable but it has also opposed sanctions on Moscow. "The importance of remaining in close coordination to manage the multifaceted impacts of the crisis and support a diplomatic solution was emphasised," it said in a statement, adding the two had also discussed bilateral ties.

In response to Russia's invasion, Turkey last month closed its Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits linking the Mediterranean and Black Seas to warships under a 1936 pact, limiting passage of some Russian vessels.
