Russia has expressed deep disappointment and concern over Argentina’s recent actions related to military assistance to Ukraine, Russian media cited Dmitry Feoktistov, Russian ambassador to Argentina, as saying on Friday.
Feoktistov specifically criticized the participation of Argentine Defense Minister Luis Petri in the Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting in Brussels, known as the “Ramstein format.”
“As for the participation of Argentine Defense Minister Luis Petri in the Brussels meeting within the framework of the Ramstein coalition, there are no official comments from the Argentine side yet. The very fact of rapprochement between Buenos Aires and the military sponsors of Ukraine causes us deep disappointment,” Feoktistov told reporters.
Feoktistov noted that Argentina’s involvement appears to be part of its increased cooperation with NATO. “Back in April, Argentina requested the status of a global partner of the alliance. Frankly, we do not understand how granting this status would enhance Argentina’s security,” he added.
Russia has also cautioned Argentina that any potential transfer of military equipment to Ukraine would be seen as an unfriendly act.
This follows reports from the Argentine news portal Infobae, indicating that Argentina is discussing the transfer of five Super Etendard attack aircraft to Ukraine through negotiations reportedly conducted by Argentine Foreign Minister Diana Mondino with her French counterpart.
“Media reports about the possible transfer of Argentine tanks through Germany, similar to the aircraft deal with France, are also concerning. We have communicated clearly and firmly to Argentina that such actions will be viewed as unfriendly towards Russia,” Feoktistov asserted.
The ambassador expressed hope that Argentina would refrain from interfering in the Ukraine crisis and maintain its traditional restraint. “This will help preserve the friendly nature of Russian-Argentine relations, which have historically been immune to political trends,” he said.
Previous reports suggested that Argentina might have considered transferring medium TAM tanks, originally designed for Argentina by Germany, to Ukraine.
It has also been reported that Argentine President Javier Milei will attend a peace conference on Ukraine in the company of Defense Minister Luis Petri.

The Turkic Culture and Heritage Foundation is preparing a digital index of the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of the Turkic world, its president said Thursday, according to Azerbaijan in Focus, reporting Daily Sabah.
The foundation headquarters in the Azerbaijani capital of Baku wants to preserve, restore and promote the cultural heritage of the Turkic world across different domains, President Aktoty Raimkulova told Anadolu Agency (AA) in Kazakhstan.
“We have well-trained experts in fields such as history, archaeology, architecture, art, and folklore in our countries. Therefore, we need their expertise to preserve our common cultural heritage,” he said.
Raimkulova said the catalog follows direct instructions from the heads of state at the Eighth Summit of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) in Istanbul on Nov.12, 2021.
“A working group comprising experts from Turkic states has been formed, and work has commenced. The list and catalog of the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of the Turkic world will be available both digitally and in print,” he said.
On projects planned this year by the foundation, Raimkulova said the group would organize training for restorers from the Turkic world in Istanbul, focusing particularly on palace restoration.
In cooperation with the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency, the foundation plans to conduct a training program based on the restoration of a 12th-century Quran preserved in the National Library in Almaty, said Raimkulova.
Raimkulova noted that the foundation would host an international conference at UNESCO to mark the 950th anniversary of the writing of Divanu Lugati’t-Turk – the first Turkish dictionary written by Kashgari Mahmud.
Raimkulova, who is also the former Culture Minister of Kazakhstan, was appointed president of the foundation at the 10th Summit of the Heads of State of the OTS in November in the Kazakh capital of Astana.
