According to AFP news agency, the US and major countries in the EU have advised their citizens not to attend mass events and avoid tourist hotspots in Turkey.
Relations between the parties are also strained in the context of Turkey’s refusal to allow Sweden and Finland to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Ukraine wants more long-range missiles
* Ukraine is in urgent talks with Western countries for more long-range missiles after receiving the promise of the delivery of tanks.
Mr. Zelensky wants long-range missiles to pre-empt Russia in urban areas. Specifically, Ukraine wants a US-made ATACMS missile, with a range of 297km. Washington has so far refused to provide the weapons.
The Ukrainian Air Force has denied that it intends to buy 24 fighter jets from allied countries. Sheet The country of Spain earlier quoted Ukrainian air force spokesman Yuri Ihnat as saying Kiev wanted two squadrons of 12 aircraft each, preferably Boeing F-16 jets.
Ukraine says Mr Ihnat’s comments have been misinterpreted and negotiations are still ongoing.
White House deputy national security adviser Jon Finer said the US would discuss the idea of supplying fighter jets with Kiev.
This week, the German defense minister rejected a proposal to send planes to Ukraine.
* Russia accuses Ukraine of attacking a hospital in the Lugansk region. According to the Russian side, “Ukrainian armed forces deliberately attacked the hospital building” in the town of Novoaidar on the morning of January 28 with a US-made HIMARS missile system.

* Ukraine wants to block Russian athletes from participating in the 2024 Olympics. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said letting Russian athletes compete would justify the fight against Kiev.

Earlier, on January 27, Zelensky announced that Ukraine would launch an international campaign to prevent Russia from participating in the Summer Olympics held in Paris, France.
Mr. Zelensky has written to international sports federations, asking them to clarify their position on the upcoming Olympics.
In the middle of last week, the Olympic Council of Asia helped Russian and Belarusian athletes qualify for the 2024 Olympics. Ukraine said it would boycott the Games if Russian and Belarusian athletes participated.
Zelensky’s adviser Mykhailo Podolyak wrote on Twitter that Russian athletes would become “ambassadors of death” if allowed to compete.
On January 27, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said any attempt to remove Moscow from international sports would “surely fail”.
