Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev also sent a congratulatory letter to Vladimir Zelensky, in which he expressed confidence that Azerbaijani-Ukrainian relations would continue to develop. “Azerbaijan, always remaining committed to the UN Charter, the norms and principles of international law, respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states, including Ukraine. We constantly keep in the spotlight the issues of humanitarian assistance to the people of Ukraine and continue to be ready to provide the necessary assistance,” the letter says.
