Full reaction:

“30 years have passed since Albania and Ukraine established diplomatic ties as two countries that emerged from tyranny into the free world. Today, we are proud to stand by Ukraine as true friends on the right side of history. Ukraine’s heroic resistance is a fight for freedom and a refusal to return to the tyranny from which we both emerged long ago. This is why Albania will support Ukraine and its people to the best of its ability until it triumphs against Russia’s illegal war of aggression. Albania and Ukraine belong to the family of free and democratic nations and both have a future in the Euro-Atlantic family. On the occasion of this 30th anniversary, I am happy to announce that Albania will increase its level of representation in Kyiv, by opening its embassy in Ukraine. I look forward with pleasure to the continuation of the cooperation with my friend and colleague Dmytro Kuleba to advance and strengthen our cooperation even further in the future”.
