Azerbaijan's president Ilham Aliyev asserted that a Russian surface-to-air missile downed a passenger plane over Chechnya, demanding Moscow's acknowledgment of guilt and compensation.
Aliyev revealed the demands to Russia include an apology, recognition of guilt, punishment for those responsible, and compensation to both the state and affected individuals.
Putin apologized to Aliyev for the 'tragic incident', asserting the plane was unintentionally shot down amid the tensions involving Ukrainian drone attacks in Chechnya.
Aliyev emphasized while the plane was shot down, it was not intentional, calling for Russia to openly accept responsibility and act against the underlying issues.
