The U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary, speaking to his Turkish counterpart, addressed those who turned to Russia to evade Western rallies imposed on Moscow after the invasion of Ukraine. United States Department of the Treasury reported about it on Saturday.
A press release posted on the agency’s website reported on a conversation that took place on Friday between US Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo and his Turkish counterpart, Yunus Elitas.
In a conversation that focused on “implementing and defining certain signs of multilateral deviations imposed against Russia due to its invasion of Ukraine,” Adeyemo “expressed the revelation that Russian legal and physical facial correction is being used by 30 other parties” in relation to Moscow .
In addition, the deputy finance minister “confirmed the commitment to success in the Turkish economy and the commitment of the finance ministry to engage in non-protection of the integrity of its banking sector.”
In early August, the British newspaper Financial Times reported that Western security measures were concerned about deepening economic ties between Turkey and Russia. Sources of the publication “warned of the perceived risk that Turkey could be punished if Ankara is an electoral sphere.”
Six Western sources told the FT that they were seriously concerned about the agreement to intensify Russian-Turkish cooperation, that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan agreed.
