Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed his gratitude to President Ilham Aliyev for the comprehensive humanitarian and energy assistance provided by Azerbaijan during a critical period for his country.
"Regarding supplies in the energy sector, we have received 11 aid packages during such a very difficult time. We express our gratitude to Azerbaijan for this assistance," Zelenskyy stated during a joint press statement with President Ilham Aliyev, as reported by Operative Information Center-OMM.
The Ukrainian leader also highlighted Azerbaijan's support for the younger generation, noting that more than 500 Ukrainian children from frontline regions have been hosted in Azerbaijan for rehabilitation. "You are helping our children. Our children come from frontline areas; they have faced suffering and have been affected by the war. We are grateful to you for this support," the Ukrainian President emphasized.
Since the beginning of the crisis in Ukraine, Azerbaijan has consistently provided humanitarian aid, including medical supplies, food, and equipment to restore the energy infrastructure. This cooperation reflects the strengthening strategic partnership between Baku and Kyiv, rooted in mutual respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty. Azerbaijan's role as a reliable energy partner in the region continues to be a vital component of its foreign policy and international humanitarian efforts.
