The message reads, in part:
“Traditionally friendly Russian-Ukrainian relations are developing dynamically, and major joint projects in industry, energy, transport infrastructure, agriculture and other sectors are being implemented.
“I am sure that the future build-up of mutually advantageous trade and economic, investment, cultural and humanitarian cooperation, and the intensification of cooperation in integration formats in the CIS space fully meet the interests of the fraternal nations of Russia and Ukraine.
I wish you good health and new successes in your responsible activity, and I wish all Ukrainian people happiness and wellbeing.”
