On the sidelines of the G7 summit in Italy, the United States and Ukraine are set to sign a bilateral security pact that outlines a long-term security relationship between the two nations. The agreement, expected to be signed on Thursday, follows extensive negotiations and is aimed at enhancing cooperation in various areas.
The pact will commit the US to providing continued training for Ukraine's armed forces, increased collaboration in the production of weapons and military equipment, ongoing military assistance, and enhanced intelligence sharing for a period of 10 years. However, it is noted that the agreement will be an 'executive agreement,' which means it may not be binding for future US administrations.
