According to the Ukrainian presidential office on the day, the negotiation teams of Ukraine and the EU have completed the coordination of the agreement text and plan to sign it in the near future.

At the NATO summit held in Vilnius, Lithuania at that time, the EU and G7 leaders announced a joint declaration focusing on long-term military and economic support for Ukraine.

As the war with Russia prolongs, Ukraine is struggling due to reduced support from the United States and the EU. Accordingly, it is securing military support by signing bilateral security agreements with individual countries. Earlier, on the 13th, Ukraine signed a 10-year bilateral security agreement with the United States. The total number of countries that have signed individual security agreements with Ukraine is 17.
