Ukraine is falsely accused of provoking war between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Ukrainian intelligence says
Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU) has reported that false information is circulating in the Armenian information space, accusing DIU of attempting to provoke or facilitate the outbreak of an armed conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Source: DIU Quote: "Disinformation spreaders claim that a new Azerbaijani-Armenian war would force Russia to open a 'second front', thereby dispersing its military forces, which they argue would benefit Ukraine. The source of this operation is a fabricated report, supposedly from DIU, addressed to Ivan Havryliuk, Ukraine's Deputy Minister of Defence. The document is riddled with significant errors (misspellings such as 'Yvan' instead of Ivan and 'SDR' instead of EDRPOU [Ukraine's statistical business register]) and fails to meet the official standards for Ukrainian government documents." Details: DIU pointed out that this information operation is designed to discredit Ukraine and damage its relations with both Armenia and Azerbaijan, ultimately serving the interests of Russia, the aggressor state.

Russia pushing disinformation to damage Ukraine's ties with Armenia, Azerbaijan, intel claims
Russia is spreading disinformation that accuses Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) of trying to instigate an armed conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, HUR said on March 2. The intelligence agency referred to a fake document presented as a report from HUR to Ukraine's Deputy Defense Minister Ivan Havryliuk, which has been disseminated in Armenian Telegram channels. Armenia and Azerbaijan are bitter rivals who have clashed in several armed conflicts over border and ethnic issues since gaining independence in the 1990s. Moscow has maintained mostly warm ties with Azerbaijan but was also seen as a key military ally of Armenia. Russia's relationship with Yerevan sharply deteriorated after Russian peacekeepers did not prevent Baku's lightning offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh in September 2023. The fake report accuses Ukraine's intelligence of trying to spark a new war to divert Russia's attention and disperse its forces, alleviating pressure on Ukraine. HUR noted that the document contains several spelling errors and does not meet the requirements of official communication. According to Ukraine's military intelligence, the fake report aims to "discredit Ukraine and undermine Ukrainian-Armenian and Ukrainian-Azerbaijani relations, which ultimately benefits Russia." Kyiv has maintained stable relations with both South Caucasus countries. Azerbaijan has provided humanitarian aid during the full-scale war, while Armenia's pivot away from Moscow signaled the potential strengthening of Ukrainian- Armenian ties.
