At the same time, at least eight Russian journalists have been detained in Baku on various charges.
The deaths have caused a massive fallout in Baku, with numerous Russia-related events being cancelled and the offices of Sputnik being raided.
The Russian media outlet Tsargrad, known for its pro-government views, wrote that the visit was a sign that Azerbaijan had become openly pro-Ukraine.
The sanctions were announced on 9 May, the day Russia and other former Soviet states commemorate the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany.
The news of the cancellation was announced by Kremlin official Yuri Ushakov.
The pro-government Azerbaijani media outlet APA said that Russia has yet to release any details of its investigation into the crash.
