The U.S.-Ukraine Bilateral Security Agreement, signed by Presidents Biden and Zelenskyy at the G7 Summit in Puglia, Italy, marks a significant commitment to Ukraine's long-term security. This agreement builds on the commitments made under the G7 Joint Declaration of Support to Ukraine in July 2023 and follows the President’s approval of the Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act earlier this year.
Under this ten-year agreement, both nations pledge to enhance security and economic cooperation. The United States will provide assistance, advice, and training to bolster Ukraine’s defense capabilities. The agreement also aims to advance reforms necessary for Ukraine's EU accession and NATO membership while strengthening its defense industrial base through co-production and joint ventures with U.S. industry.
"The agreement furthers our goal of a secure, sovereign, and independent Ukraine that is integrated with the Euro-Atlantic community and militarily capable of defeating Russian aggression now and deterring it in the future," stated an official.
The United States joins 15 partner countries that have already concluded bilateral agreements with Ukraine under the Joint Declaration framework. Efforts are ongoing with all 32 Joint Declaration signatories to create a broad network of nations dedicated to safeguarding Ukraine’s future.
