RoydadNaft – <\/a><\/span>\u00a0Azerbaijan’s president on Sunday condemned Russian air strikes on Azerbaijani oil and gas facilities in Ukraine but said energy cooperation between the two countries would continue.<\/p>\n

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev spoke with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy by phone.<\/p>\n

“During the conversation, both sides condemned the deliberate airstrikes by Russia on an oil storage facility owned by Azerbaijan’s SOCAR in Ukraine, as well as other Azerbaijani facilities and a gas compressor station transporting Azerbaijani gas to Ukraine,” Aliyev’s press service said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“They emphasized their confidence that these attacks would not hinder energy cooperation between Azerbaijan and Ukraine.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Russia struck an oil depot owned by SOCAR and a gas pumping station used to import liquefied natural gas from the U.S. and Azerbaijan in Ukraine’s southern Odesa region, according to sources and Ukrainian officials.<\/p>\n

In July, Ukraine pumped a test volume of Azerbaijani gas through the Transbalkan route for the first time and announced plans to significantly increase gas imports from Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n

Ukraine’s infrastructure and energy facilities are frequently targeted by Russian forces, which have stepped up their drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian cities and towns in recent months.<\/p>\n
