Russian President Vladimir Putin issued an apology to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on Saturday, December 28, following the tragic crash of an Azerbaijani airliner in Kazakhstan that resulted in 38 fatalities. The plane, which was en route from Azerbaijan's Baku to Grozny, the capital of Russia’s Chechnya region, deviated off course and crashed while attempting to land in Kazakhstan on Wednesday. Of the 67 people aboard, 29 survived the crash. The Kremlin, in an official statement, confirmed that air defence systems were active near Grozny on Wednesday due to a Ukrainian drone strike but refrained from suggesting that these systems were involved in the downing of the aircraft.
