Azerbaijan will contribute to bolstering Ukraine ahead of the upcoming winter and against the backdrop of intensified Russian attacks, states Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
According to the head of state, on November 12, he is participating in the European Political Community summit in Dublin.
The first phase of his agenda involves negotiations with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.
Zelenskyy noted that bilateral relations are developing, which is why the focus this time was on priority areas of cooperation.
"First and foremost, the Drone Deal. Contracts have been signed, and we are working to scale up orders. We also discussed the presence of Azerbaijani businesses in Ukraine. We value the fact that companies are staying and continuing to work for our people, often despite Russia’s vile attacks," Zelenskyy emphasized.
Furthermore, the presidents focused on the challenges and issues Ukraine is facing due to the escalation of Russian strikes.
"And we would appreciate it if Azerbaijan could also find a way to support Ukraine’s critical infrastructure and logistics ahead of winter. We tasked our teams with working on this. Thank you!" Zelenskyy concluded.
