Baku/22.05.23/Turan: Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda called on Azerbaijan to work together to prevent Russia from circumventing international sanctions.

"We must work together, blocking Russia's ways of circumventing sanctions, and support Ukraine until victory," he stated after a meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Vilnius.

According to him, during Aliyev's visit, both countries signed agreements on closer cooperation in the field of the environment, youth affairs and law enforcement.
