The governments adopted a 2026–2027 action plan in Uzhhorod, while officials confirmed delivery of $1.47 million in Azerbaijani energy equipment for repairs in Ukraine.
Azerbaijan and Ukraine signed a cooperation protocol and adopted a 2026–2027 action plan at the 14th meeting of their Joint Intergovernmental Commission in Uzhhorod, western Ukraine. During a visit to an energy facility in western Ukraine, officials also confirmed that an Azerbaijani shipment of emergency energy equipment worth $1.47 million had arrived.
It was the commission’s first meeting in Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion, Euronews said. Azerbaijan’s energy minister, Parviz Shahbazov, and Ukraine’s first deputy prime minister and energy minister, Denys Shmyhal, co-chaired the meeting.
The shipment included transformers, high-voltage cables, generators and electrical distribution equipment for rapid grid repairs. Shmyhal thanked Azerbaijan for equipment he said energy workers needed as they recovered from Russian strikes.
The delivery brought Azerbaijan’s humanitarian, rehabilitation and reconstruction assistance to Ukraine since the outbreak of the war to $52 million.
At an accompanying business forum, Ukraine advocated coordinated use of the Trans-Balkan route, its underground gas-storage facilities and oil pipelines. The delegations also discussed development of the Caspian–Black Sea–Europe Green Energy Corridor.
Shmyhal said Ukraine wanted joint production, localisation in Ukraine and technology partnerships, and invited Azerbaijani companies to invest in logistics and distributed energy projects, which generate power across multiple sites. Shahbazov said the sides discussed strengthening cooperation in trade and economic affairs, investment, energy, transport, technology and innovation, and that the action plan would guide further cooperation. The agreements cover 14 sectors, but the Euronews report does not provide the documents’ operative provisions on obligations, funding, implementing bodies or deadlines.
