The situation between Russia and Ukraine has changed overnight! Azerbaijan has criticized, stating that Russian missiles have attacked the Azerbaijani energy system within Ukraine. If the Russians continue to strike, Azerbaijan will begin to consider lifting the arms embargo on Ukraine.
Now you see? Countries such as Turkey and Azerbaijan have taken a tougher stance on the Russia-Ukraine issue than many European countries. Azerbaijani President Aliyev accused that when Russian missiles and drones attacked the energy system in the Odessa region of Ukraine, they also attacked the oil depots and natural gas transmission system of the Azerbaijani company SOCAR.
Azerbaijan stated that if the Russian forces continue to attack the relevant targets of Azerbaijan within Ukraine, then Azerbaijan will consider providing military aid to Ukraine.
Russia is highly unlikely to act in the southern front; it's too sensitive. From North Africa's Egypt, the Gulf countries, all the way to the Caucasus and Central Asian regions, there are many countries and local forces that regard Turkey as a spiritual leader.
Turkey is eating into the influence areas of Russia and Iran in the Middle East and the Caucasus. It is preparing to establish a land bridge corridor connecting Asia, realizing the New Ottomanism. This is also the key reason why Turkey and Azerbaijan are becoming increasingly firm, daring to directly confront Russia and Iran now.
