Russia seeks explanation from US and Turkey over reports of possible arms transfer

MOSCOW, AUG 15: Russia has asked Washington and Ankara to explain reports of possible plans to transfer to Kyiv a “substantial arsenal” of US weapons and ammunition held by Turkey, the spokeswoman for Russia’s foreign ministry said on Saturday.

Such a transfer would cause “serious harm … to our bilateral relations with Washington and Ankara,” spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement.
