He added - in his speech to an episode of "Beyond the News" program (2022/4) - that Turkey, the main ally of NATO, enjoys good relations with Russia, which enables it to play an important role in mediating between America and Europe on the one hand, and Russia on the one hand. On the other hand.

He added that Washington has a deterrence approach if the diplomatic approach fails;

These include deploying symbolic military units in Eastern Europe, providing Ukraine with qualitative weapons, and imposing sanctions on Russia, including President Vladimir Putin.

China has confirmed its understanding and support for Russia's proposals on security guarantees in Europe, and the Beijing-Moscow agreement in opposition to the expansion of NATO.

The two countries announced, at the conclusion of the Sino-Russian summit, the strengthening of strategic cooperation between them.

This comes amid diplomatic moves over the crisis between Russia and Ukraine, and as Washington continues to warn of what it says is a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine.

In turn, Andranik Migranyan, professor of international relations at Moscow University, stressed that the diplomatic path is likely to resolve this crisis, because Moscow is looking for a sincere ally that plays the role of mediator to defuse this crisis, provided that Ukraine responds to these mediations and does not throw them away and strengthen its allies, according to him.

He added that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan would not be an honest party because he visited Ukraine and signed some military agreements with it, and he spoke that Crimea is not Russian, so in Moscow's view, he stands on Ukraine's side and cannot play any mediation role.

He added that Russian-Chinese relations are witnessing a significant expansion due to the US push for Moscow towards Beijing, because Washington sees the two countries as a threat to its national security, which pushed the Russian-Chinese relationship to the stage of alliance.

Migranyan denied Moscow's intention to invade Ukraine militarily, accusing what he called the major capitals of working to exaggerate the matter in the media, which prompted Russia to send military forces to its borders in order to secure them.
