"Discussions continue": US confirms talks with Ukraine on security guarantees

The US administration has confirmed that negotiations with Ukraine on signing a bilateral security agreement are ongoing. However, the details are not disclosed.

This was stated by US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller during a briefing. He emphasized that the United States is working to ensure long-term support for Ukraine.

"We have made it clear that we are working to provide long-term support for Ukraine's security," the foreign policy representative said.

Miller emphasized that the United States is providing significant assistance to Ukraine to protect it from Russian aggression, "and we are working on a long-term security agreement."

The US State Department spokesman assured that President Joe Biden had expressed this clear stance during the previous NATO summit, and it remains unchanged.

"These discussions are ongoing, but I won't go into details," Miller said.

As a reminder, Ukraine and the United States held the third round of negotiations on a security agreement. The parties "noted significant progress in agreeing on the main provisions of the document and adjusted the algorithm for further actions."

On behalf of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the delegation of Ukraine was led by the Head of the Presidential Office, Andrii Yermak. According to him, the recent approval of the US aid package for Ukraine has significantly accelerated the negotiation process, and the leaders of both countries will be able to sign a bilateral security agreement in the near future.

As reported, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that our country is approaching an important security agreement with the United States. According to him, in May-June, Ukraine will sign security treaties not only with the United States but also with Nordic countries such as Sweden and Norway.
