Russian President, Vladimir Putin, meets with his Azerbaijani counterpart, Ilham Aliyev, ahead of trilateral talks with Armenian Prime Minister, Nikol Pashinyan, a month after the worst clashes between the two countries since their war in 2020. The talks come after Putin's initial head-to-head with Pashinyan, where the Armenian leader thanked Moscow for its ongoing peacekeeping missions in the region. Russia is seeking to reassert its role as a key powerbroker between the Caucasus arch-foes as Western engagement in the region grows and Moscow -- distracted by its war in Ukraine -- is visibly losing influence after decades of domination.
