On 10 August, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a telephone conversation with President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.
President Zelenskyy extended his congratulations to the head of state on the achievements attained in advancing the peace agenda between Armenia and Azerbaijan, achieved with the support of U.S. President Donald Trump, and emphasised the historic significance of the meeting. President Aliyev expressed his gratitude for the congratulations and noted that the agreements reached between Armenia and Azerbaijan- in particular, the declaration and other documents signed in the presence of the U.S. president would contribute to ensuring lasting peace, stability, and prosperity in the region.
