Ukraine, Netherlands sign deal on security cooperation
The 10-year deal, which is based on the G7 joint declaration of support for Ukraine, was signed in the city of Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine, Xinhua news agency reported on Friday.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday that he had discussed defence support for Ukraine in a phone conversation with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
“We talked about strengthening defence support for Ukraine, intensifying work on security guarantees,” Zelensky tweeted. The Ukrainian leader added that the parties also touched upon the issue of supplying fuel for Ukraine amid the energy crisis.
Earlier this month, Johnson announced that the British government will provide 1.3 billion pounds (about 1.64 billion U.S. dollars) in military aid for Ukraine.
