The signing of the security pact between the USA and Ukraine
Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelensky will sign a security pact between the USA and Ukraine in Italy on the sidelines of the G7 scheduled for June. The Financial Times says the signing is “a sign of support aimed at calming Kiev after ‘strained’ relations that some Ukrainian officials say have hit their lowest level since Russia’s invasion” in February 2022. The deal it would be the most significant among those that Kiev has already signed with numerous NATO countries: the agreements provide for a long-term commitment with military training, sharing of intelligence information and economic assistance. The agreement, according to the FT, should contribute to at least partially restoring calm in a situation characterized by Biden’s absence at the peace summit, promoted by Ukraine in Switzerland on 15 and 16 June. The United States will participate, but the president’s plans prioritize a Democratic Party fundraising event ahead of the November 2024 elections.”We have never been this far apart since the war began. The situation is very, very tense“, the words of an anonymous representative of the Kiev government to the FT.
