Details: Following the meeting, the leaders of Ukraine, the United States, 21 other NATO countries, as well as the EU and Japan, signed the Ukraine Compact, a multilateral document containing commitments to support Ukraine.
The document aims to accelerate collective efforts to meet Ukraine’s comprehensive security needs. In it, the signatory states undertake to fulfil their obligations under bilateral security treaties, namely:
(1) Support Ukraine’s urgent defence and security needs, including through continued assistance in the areas of security and training, modern military equipment, and the defence industry;
(2) Accelerate efforts to develop Ukraine’s future armed forces;
(3) In the event of a future armed attack by Russia on Ukraine after the end of the current combat actions, meet quickly and collectively at the highest level to determine appropriate next steps in support of Ukraine, including rapid and sustained security assistance and the imposition of economic and other penalties on Russia.
The Treaty is open for accession by other states. It will operate in parallel with Ukraine’s progress towards EU and NATO membership.
Background:
- Already during the summit, Ukraine signed a security agreement with another NATO state.
- The partners signed agreements with Ukraine that were not subject to ratification. Because of this, the White House acknowledged that Trump could cancel the security agreement with Ukraine.
