Due to the deterioration of relations with Russia, Azerbaijan's agricultural exports to Russia have been blocked. Azerbaijani media reported that due to the export blockage to Russia, Azerbaijani farmers were forced to dump entire trucks of tomatoes. Don't underestimate this tomato; Azerbaijan supplied about 60% of Russia's tomatoes, creating over 100,000 jobs, and tomato exports account for about 8% of its GDP.
Russia has also taken strong measures against Azerbaijani expatriates, forcing a large number of them to return home, while remittances are another major source of income for Azerbaijan, accounting for about 10% of its GDP. The Russian military also bombed a natural gas facility located in Ukraine, through which Azerbaijan supplied gas back to Ukraine. Azerbaijan's leader Aliyev was too hasty; he shouldn't have broken up with Russia when Russian forces were in the lead on the Russia-Ukraine battlefield.
