Ukraine to sign security agreements with U.S., Nordic nations - Zelensky

President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, announced this in an interview with Brazilian mass media, Ukrinform reports.

"We are approaching an important agreement with the USA," he said.

The head of state emphasized that after the U.S. Congress approves an aid package to Ukraine, "we will come to a powerful agreement with the U.S."

"I would like people to understand that this is not only about military support, it is also about humanitarian aspects, reconstruction, financial support, and energy. The entire volume of this powerful aid is part of those bilateral agreements," Zelensky stressed.

The president assured that the government will continue to sign security guarantees with partners.

At the same time, he noted that Ukraine is getting closer to signing security agreements with the Baltic partner nations.

"I think in April we will have such a result with one of the countries. We can seal powerful agreements in May. I think that in May-June we will enter into agreements not only with the USA, but also with the Nordic nations. We are preparing for Sweden and Norway," the head of state emphasized.
