Reportedly, Turkey refused Russia's request for body armor and winter gear.

Reportedly, Russia asked Turkey for 200,000 body armor kits & 500,000 sets of winter gear for its soldiers, but Turkey refused. If confirmed, this tells you all you need to know about the condition of Putin’s military. As the saying goes, armies run on logistics. Enough said….

I see no reason why they would think supplying Russia a good idea. They've been supporting Ukraine more than not. Why outright betray NATO?
