Zelensky egged Aliyev on: Kiev will support Baku against Russia

The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, supported Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev amid the aggravation of relations with Russia. Zelensky called Aliyev.

"I thanked him for the support of Ukraine, and also expressed Ukraine's support in the situation when Russia threatens Azerbaijan," he wrote in the telegram channel.

During the conversation, Zelensky accused Russia of allegedly threatening Azerbaijan and the country's citizens. The politicians also discussed bilateral cooperation in the economy, energy and humanitarian spheres.

As EADaily reported , the day before , the Ambassador of Ukraine to Azerbaijan also revived amid the pressure in Baku anti-Russian statements. Yuri Gusev said that 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.

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, and the Investigative Committee will give all the answers.
