Azerbaijan cancels Russian events over the killings of 2 citizens in Yekaterinburg

  • On June 27, Russian FSB forces conducted violent raids in Yekaterinburg targeting Azerbaijani homes, killing two brothers and detaining nine others.
  • The raids occurred amid months of strained Russia-Azerbaijan relations and reportedly aimed to pressure the Azerbaijani diaspora over conscription for the Ukraine conflict.
  • Azerbaijan condemned the killings as ethnically motivated extrajudicial violence and cited testimony from the victims' brother describing torture and beatings without trial.
  • In response, Azerbaijan cancelled all Russian cultural events and called off Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk's planned visit, demanding a full investigation and justice.
  • The incident led to Azerbaijan’s most forceful diplomatic protest since December 2024 and sparked fears that the abuses may persist unless Russia’s leadership takes clear and effective action.
