Ukraine and Germany to sign security guarantees agreement as early as February - FAZ

Ukraine and Germany may sign security guarantees agreement this month. The draft document is almost ready.

This statement was made by Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine Olha Stefanishyna. This was reported by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

According to preliminary data, the signing of the agreement is scheduled for February 16. The intergovernmental agreement may be finalized and signed during the Munich Security Conference.

It is noted that the planned agreement is to become part of a network of bilateral security agreements designed to support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression while the country is not a NATO member yet.

Stefanishyna noted that from a Ukrainian perspective, Germany's role as an ally, especially in the European Union, has recently changed "significantly" for the better. People "may not always be happy" with Berlin, but in the end, "Germany's role has become much stronger."

In late January, it was reported that Ukraine and Germany may soon agree on security guarantees in line with the Group of Seven Framework Declaration adopted at the NATO Summit in July 2023. At the time, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz agreed to conclude negotiations on this issue in the near future.
