Not only has the European Union signed this agreement, but Lithuania and Estonia have also entered into bilateral agreements with Ukraine, highlighting the widespread understanding of the importance of security in the region.

According to the agreement, the European Union commits to providing Ukraine and its citizens multi-level support. This includes political, financial, economic, humanitarian, military, and diplomatic assistance. The Union has pledged to continue this support for as long and intensively as necessary to ensure Ukraine's stability and security.

The signing ceremony occurred just before the European Union summit, which President Zelensky attended.

NATO summit in Vilnius

Signing such agreements aligns with the provisions of the NATO summit held in Vilnius last year. These agreements guarantee support from Western allies for Ukraine. In June this year, the United States and Japan signed similar agreements with Kyiv. So far, 17 countries, including some EU member states, have signed such contracts with Ukraine.

During the summit, the President of Lithuania, Gitanas Nauseda, and the Prime Minister of Estonia, Kaja Kallas, also signed bilateral agreements with President Zelensky.
