Russia appointed a new head of its peacekeeping force in Nagorno-Karabakh, the RIA news agency said on Wednesday, citing the Russian defence ministry.
No reason for the change was given. Russia sent peacekeepers to the South Caucasus region in 2020 when it brokered a truce in a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, but tensions between the two countries remain high.
