Ukraine signed security agreements with the Czech Republic and Slovenia during Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the UK.

This was announced on the website of the President of Ukraine on Thursday, July 18.

The two agreements were signed in Woodstock, where Zelenskyy spoke at the European Political Community Summit.

Prime Minister Petr Fiala of the Czech Republic and Prime Minister Robert Golob of Slovenia signed the documents. Both documents are designed for 10 years.

Agreement with the Czech Republic

The document envisages enhanced cooperation in the military-technical field, primarily in the areas of small and large caliber ammunition, small arms and light weapons production, as well as UAVs, electronic warfare, and heavy equipment.

The agreement stipulates that Ukraine and the Czech Republic will strengthen their ammunition production capacities and establish joint ventures.

It is also noted that Prague has already provided Kyiv with military assistance worth almost €400 million and will continue to support it with the same dynamics over the 10 years of the document’s validity. The Czech Republic will also explore options for the supply of additional military equipment, taking into account Ukrainian needs.

The Czech Republic will continue to assist Ukraine as part of its initiative to supply 155 mm and 122 mm artillery shells with the support of partner countries. The countries will also continue to jointly train about 4,000 Ukrainian defenders annually within the framework of the EU Military Assistance Mission to Ukraine (EUMAM).

Agreement with Slovenia

The President’s Office noted that Slovenia has already provided Ukraine with 13 military assistance packages and plans to maintain this level of support throughout the ten-year term of the agreement.

Slovenia will also assist in the training of the Ukrainian military within the framework of the EU Mission EUMAM. In addition, the countries will cooperate in finding sources of funding for the Ukrainian defense industry.

The security agreement provides for deepening cooperation in the areas of information and cybersecurity, fighting organized crime, intelligence and counterintelligence, and humanitarian demining.

Ukraine has now signed a total of 25 bilateral security agreements with various countries.
