The sale of US Patriot missile systems to Turkey won’t affect the deal on S-400 deliveries between Moscow and Ankara, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday. “These are unrelated processes and in this case we are implementing the accords we have with the Turkish colleagues,” he said. “The project and the contract on S-400s is at the stage of its implementation and it will be continued.” Russia sees no grounds “to mistrust Turkey, which undertook commitments not to disclose data about Russia’s S-400 missile system to third parties,” TASS quoted Peskov as saying. The US State Department has approved a possible $3.5 billion sale of Patriot air and missile defense systems to Turkey, the Pentagon said on Tuesday.
