Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that Warsaw is finalizing work on a security agreement with Kyiv, according to UkrInform.
In recent months, Ukraine has made significant progress in strengthening its security capabilities by signing defense agreements with 16 European countries and the US.
The UK, Norway, Germany, France, Denmark, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, Finland, Latvia, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Sweden, and Iceland are among the countries willing to help Ukraine in its struggle against Russia’s military aggression. The signed agreements include a comprehensive package of measures to assist Ukraine, including military, economic, and political support.
Tusk also said he had an “important meeting” with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on bilateral Polish-Ukrainian relations ahead of a European Council meeting in Brussels.
The Polish official has emphasized that he has made every effort to ensure the EU adopts a new security policy, combating illegal migration and protecting the EU’s external borders with Russia and Belarus through investment in their fortification.
He believes it will enhance the security of the Polish border and enable effective counteraction against illegal migration at the Belarus border.
Tusk underscored that the EU has committed to security agreements with Ukraine, which have been discussed recently. In his opinion, these “commitments hold significant symbolic importance.”
In response to a question about whether the EU’s commitments to Ukraine are too weak, Tusk emphasized that “if they were weak and not significant, President Zelenskyy would not have come personally to participate in this event today.”
Today, Brussels, Ukraine, and the EU signed a bilateral security cooperation agreement.
