To mark the end of his assignment in Tashkent, Ambassador Doroshenko issued a farewell statement, highlighting the significance of his role and the challenges faced during his tenure, The Caspian Post reports via Uzbek media.

“It was the highest form of trust bestowed upon me by the leadership and people of my country, and I did everything in my power to live up to it,” Doroshenko wrote. “With full dedication and energy, I worked to strengthen cooperation between Ukraine and Uzbekistan in every possible area.”

The ambassador also reflected on the difficult historical moment during which he served, noting that he represented Ukraine at a time of ongoing war.
