Impact of sanctions against Russia on Azerbaijan and its consequences

Over the past year, Kyiv's diplomatic front has been bustling with activity centered on President Volodymyr Zelensky's "Formula for peace." This ten-point plan, according to the Ukrainian leadership, is the blueprint for a fair resolution to the ongoing conflict, with Zelensky consistently emphasizing that any peace must adhere strictly to these terms, excluding alternative proposals.

In a significant development poised to reshape regional dynamics, the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia will convene in Almaty on May 10 for the first talks on the Kazakh platform, an initiative proposed by Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev during his recent diplomatic visits to Baku and Yerevan.

On 22 April, as the world celebrated the birthday of Vladimir Lenin, the architect of the USSR, a landmark diplomatic event took place in Moscow. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev arrived on a one-day visit to the Russian capital, where he held talks with President Vladimir Putin.
