Azerbaijan's assistance to Ukraine

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Baku has provided Ukraine with over a thousand tons of medicines, medical equipment, and humanitarian aid totaling nearly 17 million dollars.

Furthermore, Azerbaijan is one of the leaders in humanitarian aid for the restoration of Ukraine's energy system after Russian rocket attacks.

Among other things, Azerbaijan has provided Ukraine with humanitarian aid, including 45 power transformers and 50 generators.

In August, Azerbaijan announced a new aid package to Ukraine.
