On the surface it may seem wise for Turkey to 'sit on the fence' whilst also providing Ukraine with aid such TB-2 ammunition.

However, on reflection this strategy will no doubt backfire given that Russia is untrustworthy. I can see Russia using the closure of Black Sea access as an excuse to apply sanction on Turkey or black Russian tourists from traveling to Turkey in the future. Its clear that Bayraktar popularity and its impact on the battefield will be noted by Russia, so one can also expect a Russian response from this.

If the Turkish government intends on maintaining strong ties with Russia to prevent economic damage they are being rather ignortant. Do they really expect Russians and Ukrainians to travel/holiday in Turkey given the immense damage war has brought to each nation's economy. Don't be surprised to see Russia having 'technical diffculties' with delivering gas to Turkey until the Bosphorus and Dardanelles are re-opened.

Geopolitics is an art form.
My country learned this art form the hard way and getting pretty good at it.
There wont be any problems with gas deliveries from Russia.

Taiwan is also watching this closely no doubt they will bolster their defence.

If Ukraine can take on Russia this means to Taiwan they to can take on China.

Nothing is lost. Many people believe Ukraine and Taiwan will easily collapse to the might of the Russian and Chinese armies thats not the case.

In war anything can happen.
