On Friday, French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a security agreement for 10 years, which will be valid until Ukraine joins NATO, Macron said.

The agreement includes the provision of 3 billion euros ($3.2 billion) of military aid to Ukraine in 2024 and also concerns the supply of modern military equipment to Ukraine compatible with NATO-supplied weapons, training of Ukrainian soldiers, as well as strengthening Ukraine's defense industry.
