According to a top senator, Ankara wants to become a?player? in the big game of tensions unfolding in Europe An agreement inked between Ankara and Kiev, which could soon see Turkish military drones being mass produced in Ukraine, has come under fire from one of Russia’s most senior politicians, who has argued that the plan risks greater confrontation when tensions are so high. Speaking to RIA Novosti on Thursday, Andrey Klimov, who serves as the head of Russia’s Senate committee for protection of national sovereignty, poured scorn on the move, insisting that «the saturation of Ukraine with weapons is a provocation in itself and an element of incitement.» «Ankara cannot fail to understand this, but does it anyway, which is regrettable,» he added, claiming that there was a risk in the southeast of Ukraine that hostilities could break out «spontaneously or with the involvement of provocateurs,» with weaponry from foreign partners being used in any potential fighting.
