Lithuanian and Ukrainian Presidents Gitanas Nausėda and Volodymyr Zelensky signed a bilateral security cooperation agreement in Brussels on Thursday.
The agreement enters into force on the date of its signature and will be effective for ten years, the Lithuanian presidential office said in a statement.
The agreement entails regular strategic and political dialogue meetings on all issues relating to Ukraine’s defence against the aggressor and victory, Lithuania’s military, humanitarian and financial support for Ukraine, strengthening Ukraine’s economic and energy stability and resilience, and support for its accession to NATO and the EU.
It also outlines cooperation in cyber security, intelligence and counter-intelligence, as well as in combating chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear risks.
Lithuania and Ukraine have committed themselves to collaborating in defence industry, resilience against hybrid threats, anti-corruption, and reforming Ukraine’s law enforcement and justice systems.
The bilateral agreement will expand the scope of Lithuania’s assistance and will contribute to strengthening Ukraine and accelerating its victory against Russia, the Lithuanian president said.
