"First of all, the situation around Ukraine is a matter of serious concern in Uzbekistan. Secondly, Uzbekistan is committed to finding a peaceful solution to the situation and resolving the conflict through political and diplomatic means. First of all, military action and violence must be stopped immediately.

Uzbekistan has historically had traditionally multifaceted relations with both the Russian Federation and Ukraine. And we will continue to work with both countries in a mutually beneficial manner based on our national interests.

We are providing humanitarian assistance to Ukraine in these difficult times and will continue to do so in light of the current difficult situation.
