In particular, Belgium guarantees timely security assistance to Ukraine, military equipment and weapons, and assistance in military training.
According to the document, 30 F-16 fighter jets will be provided to Ukraine by 2028, and the first aircraft will be handed over this year.
The agreement also states bilateral cooperation in the defense industry, support for the peace formula, Ukraine’s future membership in the EU and NATO, strengthening of sanctions, compensation for damages by Russia, etc.
Belgium is the 11th country that concluded a bilateral security agreement with Ukraine to implement the provisions of the G7 Joint Declaration adopted in Vilnius on July 12 last year. In total, 32 states have already joined the declaration. Before that, Ukraine signed bilateral agreements with Great Britain, Germany, France, Denmark, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, Finland, Latvia, and Spain.
On October 6, the Administrative Cassation Court within the Supreme Court of Ukraine continued hearing case No. 990/80/25, in which the fifth President and leader of the party “European Solidarity”, Petro Poroshenko, seeks to have Presidential Decree No. 81/2025 from February 12, 2025 — enacting sanctions by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) — declared illegal and annulled. The plaintiff claims the document was falsified and that the sanctions are a tool of political persecution of the opposition, contrary to international norms. Government representatives deny the allegations and insist their actions were lawful. Journalists of Bukvy were present at the hearing.

He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
