Turkey-Russia ties at risk? Ankara dubs Ukraine invasion 'war' in shift of rhetoric

MIDDLE EAST MATTERS © FRANCE24

In this edition, we look at how the Middle East is being affected by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Turkey is being forced to take sides as two of its major partners go to war. Ankara has announced it's limiting a key route for Russian warships by sealing off the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits. We get analysis from the EU's former ambassador to Turkey, Marco Pierini. Meanwhile, as the war in Ukraine sparks fears of a global energy shortage, FRANCE 24's Kate Moody takes a closer look at the economic ties between the oil-producing Gulf nations and Russia.
