France also concludes security agreements with Ukraine. Great Britain first concluded such an agreement with Ukraine in January.
Other NATO states should now gradually follow suit with their commitments. Critics doubt that the agreement will really help Ukraine. This is a declaration of intent that is not legally binding. No financial commitments are made. There was talk about the joint production of drones and electronic warfare systems. "Each of the agreements strengthens Ukraine in its own way," Zelensky answered diplomatically. The security agreements go back to a decision by NATO heads of state and government at their summit in Vilnius, Lithuania last July.
