Reznikov wrote about this on Twitter.

The minister apologized to everyone in Ukraine and Turkey who was offended by such a comparison.

"I sincerely apologize to everyone in Ukraine or Turkey who was offended by my comments in an interview with the Spanish newspaper La Razon. Ukrainians sympathize with the Turkish people. We understand what it's like to bury thousands of innocent people – friends and neighbors," Reznikov wrote.

He also thanked Turkey for its support and firm stance on Crimea since the beginning of the Russian invasion.

On February 26, it was reported that the number of victims of the earthquake in Turkey exceeded 50 thousand people.
On April 16, Oleksii Reznikov stated that the AFU losses are much smaller than those of the Russian army, and their total number does not exceed the death toll of the earthquake in Turkey.
