During a press commentary at the Munich Security Conference, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev announced that Russian forces have executed three separate attacks on both Azerbaijani energy sites and its embassy in Ukraine. Initially, these strikes were perceived as accidental; however, following the first attack, Azerbaijan shared the coordinates of its diplomatic missions with Russian officials in hopes of preventing further incidents. Despite these precautions, additional attacks occurred.

Aliyev's claims indicate a serious deterioration in relations between Azerbaijan and Russia, particularly regarding Azerbaijan's diplomatic presence and energy investments in Ukraine. He emphasized that after the third attack, it became clear these were not accidents but deliberate strikes against Azerbaijan's interests. This has raised concerns within Azerbaijan regarding its security and diplomatic engagement policies in Ukraine and at the level of the international community.

The Azerbaijani government is currently taking all necessary diplomatic measures in response to these incidents, including issuing special statements regarding the attacks on its mission. Aliyev's comments serve as a warning regarding the potential escalation of regional tensions, especially given the broader context of the conflict in Ukraine and the involvement of external powers in the region. The implications of these attacks could have significant diplomatic repercussions for Russian involvement in the South Caucasus and beyond.
