Russian Ambassador to Turkey Alexei Yerkhov:

• “No one can turn away the Syrian army that is gaining ground now”
• “What’s the purpose of Turkish observation stations? They are now behind the frontlines.”

1/
Russian Ambassador:
• “Turkish stations shelled Syrian army. They are fortified military positions ” (implying that they are military targets)
• “Separating radicals from moderate opposition in Idlib is almost impossible because they change side if they paid”

2/
Russian Ambassador Yerkhov:
• “First Russian officers died then Turkish soldiers” (Using them in the same context when briefly mentioning the reasons of escalation)
• Turkey didn’t remove radicals, and heavy weapons from de-escalation zone, didn’t open M4-M5 to traffic

3/
Russian Ambassador Yerkhov:
• Hatred against Russians increased now as it happened 5 years ago during Aleppo crisis
• Back then first Russian jet was downed by Turkey and next Russian ambassador was assassinated
• I receive death threats

— Sputnik
Basically, Russia says:

• Assad won’t withdraw from Idlib
• Ankara should abandon its stations otherwise they would be targets
• Turkish soldiers died re; the killing of Russian officers
• Remember what happened last time you fucked with us (2016 sanctions)
