Azerbaijan's assistance to Ukraine
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Baku has provided Ukraine with over a thousand tons of medications, medical equipment, and humanitarian aid, totaling over $33 million.
Azerbaijan has been one of the leaders in humanitarian aid in the context of restoring Ukraine's energy system after Russian rocket attacks. Recently, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a phone conversation with the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.
