“A festival of security agreements”
Against the backdrop of disappointing news from the US Congress about the lack of aid, the “Festival of Security Agreements with Ukraine” is gaining momentum, with Western countries guaranteeing our security under bilateral agreements such as the Budapest Memorandum. Ukraine has already signed such agreements with the UK, Germany, and France. Yesterday, Denmark announced the signing of an agreement. The next one may be with Canada, the United States, Italy or Poland, as it is known that the government is in talks with these countries.
The US Ambassador to Ukraine, Bridget Brink, said that two rounds of talks have already taken place between Ukraine and the US on the content and content of the relevant agreement with the US government.
