President Aliyev approves aid of electrical equipment to Ukraine

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has signed an order to allocate funds for the purpose of providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

According to the order, Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Energy will receive $2 million from the Presidential Reserve Fund to purchase and deliver locally produced electrical equipment as humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

The order underscores Azerbaijan’s commitment to humanitarian principles, as reflected in its consistent bilateral and multilateral aid efforts internationally.

Azerbaijan has delivered multiple humanitarian aid packages to Ukraine in response to the ongoing crisis and highlighting relations between the two countries which are founded on "friendship and partnership".

Deputy Foreign Minister Yalchin Rafiyev said at the 4th Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome last month said that Baku has provided a total of $42 million as humanitarian aid for Ukraine's recovery, including medicine, food, electrical equipment amongst others. 

President Ilham Aliyev had a phone conversation on with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday, during which the two leaders touched on developing economic and trade relations, among other issues.

According to an official statement from President Aliyev’s office, both leaders condemned Russia’s deliberate airstrikes on an oil storage facility in Ukraine owned by Azerbaijan’s SOCAR, as well as other Azerbaijani facilities, including a gas compressor station used to transport Azerbaijani gas to Ukraine.

They expressed confidence that these attacks would not disrupt ongoing energy cooperation between the two countries.
