Ukraine and the USA Sign a Ten-Year Security Agreement

Ukraine and the USA have signed a security agreement during the G7 summit in Italy, which is intended to last for ten years, according to Reuters.

The agency reports that the agreement could be Ukraine's next step towards its potential membership in NATO.

According to the document, the USA will provide Ukraine with "long-term material assistance," training, and intelligence for the "development of Ukrainian security and defense forces." CNN sources have emphasized that the agreement will have the status of an "executive agreement" and will not be mandatory for future American presidents.
