Another group of children from Ukraine arrived in Azerbaijan

A new group of children from Ukraine has arrived in Azerbaijan for rehabilitation.

Ukrainian Ambassador Yuriy Gusev expressed gratitude to the leadership and people of Azerbaijan for supporting the program.

As EADaily reported, on the eve Kiev made anti-Russian statements in support of Russophobia in Azerbaijan. According to him, Kiev "strongly condemns the repressive actions against Azerbaijanis in Yekaterinburg."

This is how the Ukrainian ambassador hastened to respond to the detention of members of an ethnic group in Yekaterinburg on suspicion of committing murders in the early 2000s on The Urals. The actions of Russian law enforcement officers caused, according to Gusev, "a fair reaction of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry and the public of the country."

On June 27, Russian law enforcement officers conducted raids in Yekaterinburg and detained about 50 people who were being checked for involvement in the commission of crimes in the early 2000s. Nine Azerbaijanis remained in custody. The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said that two Safarov brothers died as a result of the detentions and demanded clarification. A Russophobic campaign has been launched in the Azerbaijani media.

In response to Baku's demarches, Moscow stressed that the detainees are Russian citizens.
