Mayor: Ukraine & Azerbaijan always support each other - EXCLUSIVE

Moreover, we have friendship between cities, and we are very proud of this,” mayor of Ukraine’s Irpin city Oleksandr Markushyn told Report.

“Ukraine is now in the same situation as Azerbaijan was before, and we also have part of the territory, which is, unfortunately, occupied. Each country wants to liberate its lands. We will fight for our territory in the same way as Azerbaijan,” said Markushyn.
