Russia, Azerbaijan Conflict

[Bill Ryan]

For anyone struggling to fully understand the complexities of this (and I am one!), here's an excellent short video from The Duran, discussing the whole situation and its background with Stanislav Krapivnik, a Russian who's worked in Azerbaijan, speaks perfect English, and has been on with them several times before.

Poking the bear even more,

🇦🇿🇷🇺 Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev lashes out at Russia for the shooting of the AZAL plane back in December 2024:

Seven months after the plane crash, we’ve received no response from Russian officials. Yet everything is clear—we know what happened, and so do they.

All we ask is simple: take responsibility, punish those involved, and compensate the victims and AZAL.

Our team found the plane riddled with shrapnel holes. Claims that a Ukrainian drone was responsible are absurd.

The aircraft was hit twice, and Russian airspace wasn’t closed until minutes after.

Despite repeated letters, Russia says only that “the investigation is ongoing.”

We’re now preparing to take the case to international court. It may take years—but justice must be done.
