Ukraine missed the chance to build a strong state in 2000, Aliyev said
Azerbaijan does not and will not supply weapons to Ukraine. This was stated by the country's President Ilham Aliyev. According to him, Baku adheres to this position, despite regular requests from Kyiv.
Ukraine's chance to build a strong state was missed in 2000, and the current war could have been avoided. Azerbaijan does not and will not supply weapons to Ukraine. We are not transferring weapons to Ukraine. Although we are asked to do this, we cannot and we talk about it publicly, openly. We won't do this. Weapons - no, humanitarian aid - yes
- Aliyev said.
He added that Baku has already provided humanitarian aid to Kyiv for 30 million euros. In addition, the head of Azerbaijan emphasized that his country is actively involved in the reconstruction of the Ukrainian city of Irpen, where a large Azerbaijani diaspora lives.
Aliyev also commented on the current relations between Moscow and Kyiv. According to him, Ukrainian leaders in previous years missed a huge number of opportunities to build normal relations with the Russian Federation.
Did Ukrainian leaders have a chance in previous years to build normal relations with Russia? I'm absolutely sure it was. I just spoke about Russian-Azerbaijani relations. We are neighbours. We build strong partnerships. We respect each other's sovereignty. We don't interfere in each other's affairs. Couldn't this be between Russia and Ukraine? Of course it could
– the President of Azerbaijan emphasized.
