What is known about the signing of new security agreements
As the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, noted, signing a security agreement is expected not only with the USA but also with Japan.
These agreements will complete the signing of such bilateral documents with the G7 countries in continuation of the so-called G7 Vilnius Declaration on the sidelines of the NATO summit on "security guarantees" for Ukraine.
We will sign bilateral security agreements during meetings with US President Joseph Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. The document with the United States will be unprecedented, as it should be, for the support of the leaders of Ukraine.
