    It doesnt matter what russia says or does in this regard. What is important is if Turkey sticks with it and provides protection for those ships or not.

          All I’ve seen are words from Turkey. First the words were “we won’t accept Sweden”. Then the words were “we will accept Sweden”. Still Turkey has officially accepted Sweden and Sweden is not yet a member. Erdogan says a lot. His actions is what I count.

            His country’s economy is in the toilet, the last thing he needs it to antagonise one of their largest (if not the largest) trading partner: the EU.

            Doubt he will continue blocking it, but time will tell.
