2023... It's hot! The SVO of Russia in Ukraine is in full swing. The United States and many European countries supply weapons and impose sanctions. Turkey is balancing in this conflict, unequivocally striving for the transition from the status of a Middle Eastern player to the list of global powers in the world.
