Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov arrived in Kyiv on Thursday, marking his first official visit to Ukraine and becoming the highest-level Azerbaijani official to visit the country since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale war in 2022. Bayramov met with his Ukrainian counterpart, acting Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, and the two discussed a variety of bilateral issues, including ‘progress in implementing the agreements’ made during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s April visit to Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said in a statement later in the day the two had ‘discussed the Azerbaijan–Ukraine strategic partnership, trade, energy, investment, transport, humanitarian and multilateral cooperation, as well as regional and international security issues’. Bayramov also said during a joint press conference that Azerbaijan would be ready to provide Ukraine with gas. This is the Minister’s first visit to Ukraine since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
