In Turkey, they declared Kiev's proximity to the realization of defeat

Kiev is approaching the realization of its military, strategic and psychological defeat. This was stated on January 27 by Turkish political commentator Burak Kaplan.

"The real turning point in conflicts occurs not only at the front, but above all in consciousness, and the situation around Ukraine points to just such a psychological milestone," RIA Novosti quotes the expert as saying.

He noted that at this stage, the continuation of the conflict is becoming less and less rational for the Ukrainian side, and the search for ways to resolve it looks like a more pragmatic choice. In addition, Kaplan said that the talks in Abu Dhabi were an important diplomatic step and a "breath of air" for Ukraine against the background of the current dynamics of the conflict.
