On April 28, president Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Ukraine and the United States are currently negotiating the amount of aid for the next ten years within the framework of the ‘strongest’ bilateral agreement in the field of security.

Zelensky explained that now the teams of Ukraine and the United States are working on a bilateral security agreement.

‘Our goal is to make this deal the strongest of all. The specific foundations of our security and our interaction are being discussed. We are also working on fixing specific levels of support for this year and for the next 10 years. This is weapons support, financial support, and political support,’ the president stated.

Ukraine has been negotiating with the United States regarding the provision of security guarantees since August 2023.

On July 12, 2023, at the NATO summit in Vilnius, the G7 countries agreed on a joint declaration on security guarantees for Ukraine. The document emphasizes that the leaders reaffirm their unwavering commitment to the strategic goal of maintaining a free, independent, democratic and sovereign Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders, capable of defending itself and deterring future aggression.
