Putin apologizes to Aliyev over plane crash
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday apologized to Ilham Aliyev, the president of Azerbaijan, for what the Kremlin said was a “tragic incident” in Russian airspace involving the Azerbaijan Airlines plane that crashed in Kazakhstan on Dec. 25, Al Arabiya reported.
Putin told Aliyev that Russian air defense was active when the Azerbaijani Airlines plane tried to land in Grozny before it crashed.
“During this time, Grozny, (the town of) Mozdok and Vladikavkaz were being attacked by Ukrainian combat drones and Russian air defense was repelling these attacks,” the Kremlin said Putin told Aliyev, without saying that Russian air defense hit the plane.
