Kremlin propagandist calls for attacking Azerbaijani infrastructure in Ukraine

Kirill Kabanov, chairman of the National Anti-Corruption Committee (NAC) and member of the Presidential Council for Human Rights, has proposed targeted strikes on Ukrainian oil facilities related to Azerbaijani companies.

In his Telegram channel, Kabanov noted that it has recently become increasingly clear who is Russia's friend and who is its enemy. In his opinion, Azerbaijan is demonstrating less and less friendliness towards Moscow, and among the country's key partners, he singled out Turkey, the United States, Great Britain, and Ukraine.

Kabanov said that these states are true allies of Baku, which, in his opinion, changes the geopolitical situation in the region and forces us to reconsider previous approaches to cooperation with Azerbaijan.

The NAC Chairman emphasized that in order to protect Russia's interests, it is necessary not only to attack oil facilities associated with Azerbaijan, but also to completely suppress the influence and activities of criminal groups associated with the Azerbaijani diaspora in Russian business.

Earlier, as a result of Russian drone strikes on an oil depot and gas distribution station of the Azerbaijani state company SOCAR in the Odessa region of Ukraine, a fire broke out and a diesel fuel pipeline was damaged. Four employees were seriously injured.

The Explainer Project suggests that the arrest of investigative journalist Oleg Roldugin of Novaya Gazeta may be linked to his investigation of assets acquired by individuals close to Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov following the "nationalization" of the Russian divisions of the major French dairy producer Danone. The publication's source claims that investigators are attempting to formulate charges against the journalist without disclosing the names of individuals associated with Kadyrov, which explains the lack of official information about any charges against Roldugin.
