Quote: „We are preparing seven new security documents for our country – bilateral security agreements, including a security agreement with the United States.“

He specified that the drafts of some security agreements are ready and expressed hope that they would become the support for Ukraine within the next few years „for the period until we join NATO“.

„We are filling the draft agreements with stronger opportunities for Ukraine and for our common security with partners. Obviously, any means of increasing our protection against Russian terror are given special priority,“ Zelenskyy added.

Background:

So far, Ukraine has signed bilateral security agreements with nine countries, with Latvia being the last of them. It is expected that such an agreement will also be signed with Norway.
Most Ukrainians believe that signing bilateral agreements in the security sector helps Kyiv resist against Russia’s full-scale aggression.
