The entry of Russian peacekeepers is one of the conditions of the trilateral agreement on the cessation of hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh, signed on the evening of November 9 by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In addition to the aforementioned contingent, a ceasefire control center will be deployed in the disputed region. The Russian military will also control the Lachin corridor.
