In view of Ilham Aliyev’s recent visit to Ukraine, the two leaders discussed the intra-Ukrainian settlement that is stalled due to Kiev’s destructive policy. Vladimir Putin told the President of Azerbaijan about meetings with the US and their allies on providing guarantees to ensure Russia’s security.
While exchanging opinions on the recent events in Kazakhstan, the two presidents noted they were satisfied that it was possible to promptly stabilise the situation, including, in part, due to the presence of the CSTO peacekeeping forces.
The two leaders also confirmed their intention to further improve the Russia-Azerbaijan strategic partnership.
