Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed “sincere gratitude” to Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan for their congratulations on Ukraine’s Independence Day anniversary.

“The high-level dialogue between our two countries has now been reinvigorated. We hope it will be followed by closer cooperation at other levels and in many areas. The Armenian people have set a steady course toward closer ties with Europe, and Ukraine commends this choice and is ready to help wherever we can,” Zelenskyy added on X.
