Zelenskyy expects to sign security agreements with nine more countries

Ukraine is currently negotiating bilateral security agreements with nine more countries in addition to the 23 already signed as a follow-up to the Group of Seven's Vilnius Declaration.

Zelenskyy noted during a meeting with Ukrainian journalists in Kyiv that a total of 32 countries had joined the G7 Vilnius Declaration on security guarantees for Ukraine.

"These are 32 countries with which Ukraine has signed or is in the process of signing bilateral agreements on security guarantees. Twenty-three countries have concluded relevant agreements with Ukraine, covering everything from financial aid to military support, humanitarian assistance and recovery efforts," the president said.

"These agreements amount to approximately US$38 billion, and I believe this is a remarkable result," Zelenskyy added.

Ukraine signed security agreements with Poland, Luxembourg and Romania during the week of the NATO Summit. In addition, the Ukraine Compact, a multilateral document containing commitments to support Ukraine, was signed on the sidelines of the summit.

Afterwards, Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine was going to sign three more agreements with Czechia, Slovenia, and Ireland.
