Polityka Turcji wobec Rosji i Ukrainy w kontekście zbrojnego konfliktu rosyjsko-ukraińskiego

Abstract

This article presents the main areas of Turkey’s relations with Russia and Ukraine, as well as Ankara’s policy implemented in the context of the Russian- Ukrainian conflict. The aim of the analysis is to show the role of Turkey in the war between Ukraine and Russia, as well as to indicate the most important opportunities and threats that result from it for this state. The research process uses a descriptive-explanatory approach to help answer the following questions: How are Turkish-Russian and Turkish-Ukrainian relations shaped? What influences Turkey’s policy and its attitude towards the Russian-Ukrainian conflict? What is the role of Turkey in the Russian-Ukrainian crisis? What opportunities and threats does the war in Ukraine bring for Turkey? The main research hypothesis is that Turkey’s actions taken in the context of the Russian- Ukrainian conflict are a balancing act typical of this state and they are based on two main assumptions – diplomacy to strengthen security and Turkey’s position in the region, and an integrated and multidimensional foreign policy that gives the opportunity to implement important role in matters of global importance.
