Agreement for Ukraine's security assurance

Last Wednesday, on July 12, the G7 countries agreed on a shared statement about security guarantees for Ukraine. Anyone can join this agreement. US President Joe Biden said the statement promises to help Ukraine in the near and far future.

The President's Office said this is a big win for Ukraine's path to NATO. It happened after many months of effort from teams of security advisors from the USA, Great Britain, France, and Germany, and talking with other partners.

On the same day, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden also joined this statement. Later, Spain, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Portugal did too.

On July 18, during a talk at the UN General Assembly, Ukraine's Foreign Affairs Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, said Kyiv wants all UN countries to think about joining the "Group of Seven" (G7) statement for Ukraine's safety.

On July 25, Romania chose to be part of the G7 countries' statement in support of Ukraine.
