Ukraine starts talks with Romania on bilateral security agreement

Ukraine has started talks with Romania on an agreement on security guarantees. The meeting was held in the Swiss city of Davos. This is what the Office of the President has reported.

The talks in Davos were held with the participation of the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, and the state secretary of the Romanian Foreign Ministry, Iulian Fota.

Romania became the 9th country to start bilateral security talks with Ukraine and once again confirmed its unwavering support for Ukraine's independence and territorial integrity, as well as its European and Euro-Atlantic path.

During the first round of talks, according to the official statement, "the sides discussed the main elements of the upcoming bilateral security agreement and agreed on the modalities of further negotiations".

As the deputy head of the OPU, Ihor Zhovkva, noted, it is impossible to imagine full-fledged security guarantees in Europe, in particular in the Black Sea region, without Romania.

Currently, Ukraine is also actively discussing bilateral security guarantees with the USA, Germany, Italy, France, Canada and Poland. On 12 January, the first such agreement was signed with the United Kingdom. In case of an upcoming aggression against Ukraine, Britain undertakes to help with weapons, equipment, finances and sanctions, but not with soldiers.
