Putin Apologizes to Aliyev Over Azerbaijan Airlines Plane Crash
Russian President Vladimir Putin apologized to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev for the crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer E190AR aircraft, the Kremlin press service reported.
Key Points from the Conversation:
• The plane, flying strictly on schedule, repeatedly attempted to land at Grozny airport.
• At the time, Ukrainian combat UAVs were attacking Grozny, Mozdok, and Vladikavkaz, prompting Russian air defense systems to respond.
• The Kremlin acknowledged the incident but attributed it to the ongoing Ukrainian drone attacks, which caused confusion among air defense systems.
Putin expressed regret and pledged cooperation with Azerbaijan to investigate and prevent similar incidents in the future.
