US EditionZelenskyy ready to hold Ukraine-Russia talks in Azerbaijan
Kyiv and Baku signed six agreements on security and energy cooperation, and Zelenskyy said Ukraine is ready for trilateral talks if Russia agrees.
- On April 25, 2026, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Gabala, Azerbaijan, signing six bilateral agreements to expand security and energy cooperation.
- The visit follows Zelenskyy's April 24 trip to Saudi Arabia, where Kyiv seeks to leverage its battlefield experience by exporting air defense expertise and drone-technology capabilities to international partners.
- Standing alongside Aliyev, Zelenskyy expressed readiness for trilateral negotiations with the United States and Russia in Azerbaijan, provided Moscow demonstrates genuine willingness for diplomacy.
- Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov previously stated that trilateral diplomatic groups involving Ukraine, the U.S., and Russia are 'on pause,' signaling rejection of the Azerbaijan venue.
- Moscow and Baku's relationship remains complex after a 2024 incident where a Russian anti-aircraft missile mistakenly downed an Azerbaijani passenger plane, killing 38 people.
