Ukraine, Netherlands to sign bilateral agreement on security guarantees

Head of the President's Office Andriy Yermak wrote about this on Telegram.

Today, October 28, a meeting of foreign policy and national security advisors is taking place in Malta to discuss President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Ukrainian Peace Formula.

The summit is attended by more than 65 countries from the West and the Global South.

"Ukraine's diplomatic efforts are yielding results: international support for the Ukrainian Peace Formula is growing. The large number of countries from the Global South involved in the meeting is proof of this. This is indeed a demonstration that the world is interested in justice and Ukraine's victory," said Yermak.

According to him, Russian fakes about the loss of interest in Ukraine have not been realized. More and more countries from all over the world are working on the implementation of the Peace Formula proposed by President Zelenskyy every month.

The meeting in Malta is about specifics.

During the meeting, specific plans for the implementation of the 5 points of the Peace Formula will be presented and discussed:

• nuclear safety,
• energy security,
• food security,
• humanitarian direction (release of prisoners of war and deportees),
• restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity and world order.

These plans were developed by working groups that included representatives of embassies of different countries and experts.

"We are moving towards the Global Peace Summit of state leaders. We are working on a common vision of our Formula with the countries of the world. The triumph of international law is a just peace in which the aggressor is defeated," summarized the head of the President's Office.

The Netherlands is a reliable partner of Ukraine in bringing our common victory closer," Andriy Yermak stressed.
