Ukraine and Azerbaijan have significant potential to deepen cooperation in the fields of energy, security, and logistics, which will help strengthen Europe’s resilience and reduce dependence on Russian gas.
Ihor Zhovkva, Deputy Head of the Office of the President, made these remarks in Kyiv at an event marking Azerbaijan’s Independence Day, according to Ukrinform.
“We have everything necessary to unlock the potential for cooperation between our countries and our peoples, particularly in the fields of energy, energy infrastructure, security, and logistics. Given the current challenges, the role of our countries in the transit of energy resources to Europe is not merely economically beneficial. It is about strengthening our collective resilience and strategically overcoming the entire European continent’s dependence on Russian gas,” Zhovkva noted.
He thanked the leadership and people of Azerbaijan for supporting Ukraine from the very first days of the large-scale Russian invasion. He also paid tribute to the citizens of Azerbaijan who stood shoulder to shoulder with Ukrainians in defense of our land.
Separately, the Deputy Head of the Presidential Office highlighted Azerbaijan’s assistance in restoring Ukraine’s energy infrastructure following Russian attacks.
