Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelenskiy set to sign a 10-year bilateral security agreement at the G7 summit in Italy to ensure Ukraine's future protection amidst concerns about potential threats, including from a future Trump administration.
Bilateral agreements with several countries aim to provide Ukraine with security guarantees similar to those of Israel, emphasizing financial and military assistance, joint weapons production, and consultation mechanisms in case of potential Russian aggression.
Negotiations to address differences regarding Ukraine's NATO membership and foreign military trainers' presence are expected during the press conference, as Ukraine views these bilateral pacts as interim steps towards NATO accession.
While the US-Ukraine security agreement won't require direct military defense, it could facilitate peace negotiations with Russia by providing assurance of support in case of Russian aggression, referencing past bitter experiences of inadequate international defense commitments.
