It will unconditionally support the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan within its internationally recognized borders. Special thanks to the ethnic Azerbaijanis who fought for our freedom in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We Ukrainians will never forget their contribution to our joint victory over Russian aggression.”
