Ankara and Moscow are shoring up their cooperation as Russia faces isolation and sanctions.
Russia and Turkey are reported to have agreed on the delivery of a second batch of S-400 missiles.
Turkey’s decision in 2017 to purchase the Russian air defence system was a sign of a deepening pragmatic relationship between Presidents Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Vladimir Putin.
Ankara continues to play what it calls a 'balancing act' between Russia on one side, and NATO on the other.
But this doesn't sit well with western countries.
They've threatened to impose sanctions if Turkey continues to help Russia evade sanctions.
So as it wages war in Ukraine, how will Russia benefit from the partnership?
