This day is already part of Ukrainian history. We have reached a security agreement with the UK that we have long worked on. This is the first such agreement based on the G7 Vilnius Declaration.

The agreement covers many aspects. Direct annual support. Fixed financial assistance. 2.5 billion pounds this year. Significant annual support throughout the agreement's 10-year term.

Weapons. Support for our defense sector. The work of our intelligence services. Sanctions against Russia. Cyber defense against Russian cyber attacks and everything involving modern technology.

This is a genuinely serious and modern agreement. There are well-known exemplary security agreements from the twentieth century, such as the one between the United States and Israel, as well as other similar agreements. We have now created a modern-day example that boosts our confidence while we defend ourselves against Russian aggression and lays the groundwork for strong security positions until Ukraine joins NATO.

NATO membership remains our primary security goal. Meanwhile, we are working with other partners on bilateral security agreements based on our agreement with the UK. Almost thirty states have already joined the G7 Vilnius Declaration. I am grateful to every country and every leader who is already working with us on this. And to everyone who will be joining this year.

And I am most grateful to the United Kingdom and personally to Prime Minister @RishiSunak for their leadership.
