The presidents of Romania and Ukraine, Klaus Iohannis and Volodymr Zelensky, on Thursday signed a bilateral security agreement, on the sidelines of the NATO summit marking the alliance’s 75 anniversary. This is Ukraine’s 23rd bilateral agreement with its partners and provides for Romania’s transfer of its Patriot system to neighbouring Ukraine and its continued support for this state. Romania pledges to facilitate the quick transit of the needed equipment through its territory. The agreement also provides for cooperation in the area of intelligence, counterintelligence, cyber security and information security. Also, Romania will support Ukraine’s defence industry and will help with the reconstruction of the country. The agreement forms part of the implementation of the G7 joint declaration of support for Ukraine from July last year.
