The Kremlin announced on Friday that Russia is in touch with Turkey about the fate of Russian S-400 missile systems owned by Ankara. This comes after a Turkish news outlet reported that Turkey might transfer the air defense missiles to a Gulf country to persuade the United States to lift sanctions.
In 2020, the U.S. sanctioned Turkey over the purchase of the S-400s and removed it from a procurement and manufacturing program for F-35 fighter jets. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that the issue is extremely sensitive and that Russia will continue to maintain contact with Turkey regarding the matter.
