Since the beginning of the war, oil and gas prices has risen dramatically, commodities Turkey depends on, which will only increase the cost of living for the Turks in the coming months as the Lira continues to devalue.
That's probably one of the main reasons why Turkey is trying to remain neutral.
Although in NATO, Turkey doesnt want to pick a side with them against Russia or the Ukrainians against Russia.
She wants to sell drones to Ukraine while everyone is donating arms and sell fruit and nuts to the Russians while everyone is sanctioning them.
She is trying to slow down her own the slide to oblivion.
