Aliyev said that Russia had carried out a "targeted attack" on the embassy in Kiev.

Azerbaijan perceives the shelling of its embassy in Kiev by Russia as an unfriendly step, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said at the Munich Security Conference during a panel discussion on "The policy of open corridors? Deepening trans-Caspian cooperation."

He claims that the strikes are being carried out not only on the energy infrastructure of Ukraine, the diplomatic mission of Azerbaijan was "hit three times."

"According to our embassy on Ukraine was dealt three blows. After the first one, we thought it might have been an accident. Then we handed over to the Russian side the coordinates of our diplomatic missions — the consular department, the cultural center, the embassy. Despite this, two more strikes followed. This is a targeted attack on the diplomatic missions of Azerbaijan," Aliyev said.

He recalled that Baku made an official statement, invited the ambassador and handed over a diplomatic note.

"We have taken steps exclusively in a diplomatic format. We cannot take additional actions," the president said.
