Russia "reacted" to the words of the Azerbaijani ambassador about Russian aggression in Ukraine

Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Grigory Karasin responded to the recent statement of the Azerbaijani ambassador: “With all professional respect for diplomatic publicity, I would still recommend the ambassador of friendly Azerbaijan in Ukraine Mardaliev to be more restrained in his statements about “Russian aggression”.”

Recall, earlier, the Azerbaijani Ambassador to Ukraine, Seymur Mardaliev, expressed admiration for Ukraine's resilience in rebuffing Russia's aggression. “That is why we decided to increase the size of the assistance package to Ukraine, including in the issue of humanitarian demining. We have already assumed political obligations regarding assistance to Ukraine,” Mardaliev said. According to the ambassador, Azerbaijan will help Ukraine in four areas, such as medical and psychological rehabilitation of injured children, rehabilitation of the military, support for the energy sector and post-war reconstruction.
