After signing bilateral security agreements with the United States and Poland, Ukraine has now signed a security agreement with the European Union (EU) [32e14670]. The agreement, which will guarantee support for Ukraine as long as it is needed, demonstrates the EU's commitment to Ukraine's security and stability. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of developing an action plan based on the results of the Peace Summit and the Ukrainian peace formula, in collaboration with EU partners [32e14670]. This agreement further strengthens Ukraine's defense capability and enhances its cooperation with international partners in the field of security.
In addition to the security agreement with the EU, Ukraine has also intensified the forced evacuation of families with children from dangerous areas in the Kharkiv region. A video was posted online showing an occupier filming the half-rotten bodies of his accomplices in Ukraine in June 2024 [204ced93]. This disturbing footage highlights the ongoing violence and instability in the region [204ced93]. The forced evacuation efforts aim to protect civilians and ensure their safety amidst the conflict [32e14670].
The security agreement with the EU and the continued forced evacuations in the Kharkiv region demonstrate Ukraine's commitment to securing its borders and protecting its citizens. The international community, including the EU, plays a crucial role in supporting Ukraine's efforts for peace and stability [32e14670]. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said a long-term security agreement to be signed between Kyiv and the European Union (EU) would advance 'peace and prosperity' across the continent. The agreement mirrors accords already struck by Kyiv with countries like Germany and France. The EU would continue financing weapons deliveries for Ukraine, keep training Kyiv's troops, and step up efforts to bolster the country's defense industry. The pact also includes a clause saying the EU would consult with Ukraine within 24 hours in case of a 'future aggression' by Russia. Ukraine sees these agreements as a bridge towards membership in the EU and NATO [f574f0fd].
