  • In mid-January, Canada’s Ambassador to Ukraine, Natalka Cmoc, stated that Canada had already submitted a draft security agreement for approval to the Ukrainian side, and negotiations could be concluded in weeks.
  • It is known that the United Kingdom became the first country to sign a bilateral security agreement with Ukraine, building on the G7 declaration of support for Ukraine.
