Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry summoned Russia’s ambassador to protest a Russian drone strike on a fuel station belonging to state oil and gas company SOCAR in Ukraine’s Mykolaiv region.
Russia has been targeting filling stations in Ukraine in retaliation for Kyiv’s escalating campaign against Russia’s own energy infrastructure, which has caused fuel shortages in many Russian regions.
Azerbaijan has sought to maintain relations with both Moscow and Kyiv since Russia sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in February 2022, providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine while not joining Western sanctions on Russia.
