Moscow deployed a 2,000-strong peacekeeping contingent in Karabakh as part of a 2020 ceasefire deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The deployment was aimed at keeping the peace between the two countries and preventing another war in the volatile region. Russia has now quietly exited Karabakh, ceding its clout in the region 'for good'.
