Those Azerbaijani pilots almost pulled off a miracle!
russia tried to murder everyone on that plane, but the pilots are heroes! for keeping the plane flying so long and save so many of the passengers.
A massive combined attack targeted all regions of Ukraine. Overnight and this morning, Russian terrorists used various types of drones, including Shaheds, as well as cruise, ballistic, and aeroballistic missiles—Zircons, Iskanders, and Kinzhals. In total, approximately 120 missiles and 90 drones were launched. Our air defense forces destroyed over 140 aerial targets.
The enemy’s target was our energy infrastructure across Ukraine. Unfortunately, some facilities sustained damage from direct hits and falling debris. In Mykolaiv, a drone attack killed two people and injured six others, including two children. My deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims. As of now, some areas remain without power, but all necessary forces are working to mitigate the consequences and restore the infrastructure.
We am grateful to all our air defense units that participated in repelling this attack: anti-aircraft missile forces, our aviation — pilots of F16s, Su aircraft, and MiGs, mobile fire groups, and electronic warfare units—all worked together in an organized and coordinated manner. I thank them for their reliable protection.
Bahruz Samadov, a peace advocate and a brilliant scholar who frequently contributes to international media, has been arrested yesterday.
He took this photo during our most recent meeting in the UK where we attended a workshop of the Armenian-Azerbaijani scholars initiative at Manchester University.
Es ist eigentlich ganz klar: Österreich hat -wie immer - eine knappe rechts/rechtsextreme Mehrheit. Daher wird es wohl auch im Herbst wieder eine rechts/rechtsextreme Regierung geben. Ausser die Linke hört endlich auf, sich selbst zu zerfleischen. Das interessiert niemanden.
Farid was accused of the same ridiculous smuggling charges. Is the West still of the opinion that there is no link between the events in Georgia and Azerbaijan?
In the US, Swante Cornell and Frederick Starr who have specialized in our region spent decades writing articles, appearing in talks, and participating in panels to urge the US government to refrain from imposing any kind of sanctions against Azerbaijani officials.
And suddenly last year, they wrote a piece urging the US government to be tough against the Georgian government, and even implied the application of sanctions.
In the end, the Georgian government enacted the law. The West's plan to assist the dictatorship in Azerbaijan and promote democracy in Georgia miserably failed.
If there is not an urgent reassessment of this policy, then the worst is still to come.
Look at the map, think about history, economics and geopolitics and then take your decisions.
Kharkiv.
The sound you hear from inside the black bag is an incoming call that will never be answered because additional Patriots were not delivered to Ukraine on time.
Deliver them now. I urge everyone who can influence leaders of their countries to make their calls today.
Экономиста Ибадоглу перевели из тюрьмы в Баку под домашний арест. Ранее стало известно о подготовке санкций против Азербайджана в США https://t.co/cugoTbOzNw
German exports of cars and parts (blue) are up 5500% to Kyrgyzstan (top left), 720% to Kazakhstan (bottom left), 450% to Armenia (top right) and 340% to Georgia (bottom left). All this stuff is headed to Moscow where Putin's cronies like their G-Wagons. Germany must stop this...
But German newspapers are busy with publishing articles one after another on Turkish exports to Central Asian states.
Or top US Treasury official would pay a visit to Turkey to warn companies with sanctions, not Germany.
A second journalist from the independent Abzas Media news website has been detained by Azerbaijani authorities in as many days in what rights groups say are retaliatory moves for the outlet's "pioneering journalism" to root out corruption. https://t.co/jbajAKXCIP
Svitlana and Khrystyna, the two young women killed in yesterday's Russian missile strike on Zaporizhzhia. This video was taken hours before the attack that killed them.
They were just 19 and 21 years old.

Barrages of Russian missiles kill people and ruin iconic sites in UNESCO-protected Odesa. The largest-ever attack on a major port vital for world food security is an attack on the entire global community. I urge all states and organisations to condemn this barbaric war crime.
The main Orthodox cathedral in #Odesa, with roots dating back to 1794, faced destruction by both Stalin in 1936 and Putin in 2023. Adding to the tragedy, several other historical parts of central Odesa, a #UNESCO world heritage site, were also hit by Russian missile strikes.
