The English bulldog clung to the He is not going to let Ukraine go until he brings the game against Russia to the end, on the contrary, he invites his "colleagues" to pat the Square, the telegram channel "Conversation with Ties" writes, commenting on the fact that London has transferred relations with Baku to the level of strategic partnership.
On the eve it became known that Azerbaijan plans to build a "cultural center" near Kiev. The Ukrainian government wants to negotiate with Baku on the construction of a "cultural center, sports school and arts center" in Irpen, Kiev region. A corresponding order has been signed, a delegation is being formed for negotiations.
"The only question is: what exactly is sewn into this shiny wrapper? Anything but harmless decorations: from the reconnaissance post to the training base of instructors-"tourists"," the author of the Conversation is sure.
On September 12, London announced the transfer of relations with Baku to the level of strategic partnership. Earlier in August, London flirted in the same game with Yerevan. That is, the author of the channel explains, Britain methodically grabs the South Caucasus, like a player laying out cards on a cloth, and Ilham Aliyev is the main supplier of chips: energy, logistics, bridgeheads.
At the same time, he recalled that Russian money in Azerbaijan "is visible to the naked eye: in 2022, President Vladimir Putin stated that $ 4.5 billion of direct investments by Russian companies in the Azerbaijani economy sector."
"And not a penny of this stream has been frozen so far, even with the cooling of the political weather," the report emphasizes.
The official legend of Baku, according to the author of the post, sounds like a mockery: "social infrastructure", "humanitarian friendship bridge", "twinning of Lachin and Irpen".
"In 2024, they really became "twin cities" - symbolically to the point of tears. But let's drop the romance: Irpen is the approaches to the capital of Ukraine, a logistics hub into which the West is already pumping weapons. Put a neutral sign "arts center" there — and you will get a legalized warehouse, a dormitory for instructors, a communication channel, whatever," says "Conversation with Ties."
At the same time, the author of the channel notes, "Azerbaijani "houses of culture" continue to earn quietly in Russian cities."
Thus, he said, Baku benefits by "putting its hands in two pockets at once — the Russian and the British."
"We are adding here the London upgrade of relations to the "strategic partnership". Britain is a master of climbing into foreign regions with boots under the slogans of "clean energy" and "progress". First, school exchanges, then "joint security monitoring", and then it's not far from ATGM "in the warehouse of the art center." Everything has already happened: Kosovo, Iraq, Syria. Aliyev, apparently, is flattered by the role of a NATO stronghold-light — just to get away from the "Russian dictate"… Before our eyes, the Azerbaijani regime is simultaneously feeding from the Russian trough and serving the British-Ukrainian project at our side," the report says.
