ANKARA, June 8. /TASS/. Fighting in Ukraine is starting to expand, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said.

All this makes it clear that, as the war continues, it is spreading geographically," he pointed out following the 10th trilateral meeting of the foreign ministers of Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia, which took place in Istanbul.

Fidan added, referring to hostilities in Ukraine, that "the parties are now seeking to strike an increasing number of different targets in order to change the current military balance."
