Russian Transport Adviser Resigns After Azerbaijan Issues Arrest Warrant

Alexei Chadayev, an adviser to the Russian Transportation Minister, resigned on August 19, 2026, following the issuance of an international arrest warrant by Azerbaijani prosecutors. Chadayev and two other media figures are accused of inciting ethnic hatred and issuing public calls for the violent overthrow of the Azerbaijani government during recent digital livestreams. The incident has caused a significant diplomatic rift, with Russian officials stepping down as Baku pursues legal action for alleged terrorism and subversion against the state.
