The countries of the "Group of Seven" have prepared long-term security guarantees for Ukraine, which they call historic and a step towards ending the current phase of the war.
This was reported by the government of Great Britain, Censor.NET reports with reference to European Pravda.
The solution is already prepared and almost agreed. The signing will take place on Wednesday in Vilnius, on the sidelines of the NATO summit.
"The joint declaration, which is expected to be signed by all G7 members, will define the format of support for Ukraine from the Allies in the coming years to end the war, as well as deterring or repelling any further aggression. This is the first time that such several countries have adopted such a comprehensive agreement," the press service noted.
The signatories of the Joint Declaration will also provide Ukraine with long-term bilateral security commitments aimed at "building a Ukraine that can defend its territorial integrity now and in the future."
After the signing of the declaration, the partners will announce even more security assistance, which will include, among other things, a more extensive and rapid exchange of intelligence and support to combat cyber attacks and hybrid threats, the expansion of training programs for the Ukrainian military, and the development of Ukraine's industrial base.
"What happened in Ukraine cannot be allowed to happen again, and this declaration confirms our readiness to ensure that Ukraine does not remain vulnerable to new barbaric actions by Russia. Support for Ukraine's movement on the way to NATO, combined with formal, multilateral and bilateral agreements and the enormous support of NATO member countries, will send a powerful signal to President Putin and bring peace back to Europe," said British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
At the first meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Council, he plans to congratulate the Allies' decision to simplify the procedure for Ukraine's accession to NATO and to note that Ukraine is adapting the Alliance's standards very quickly, and the further increase in compatibility and readiness for reforms "have already helped Ukraine to get closer to the moment when it will be ready take a rightful place in the Alliance".
At the same time, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announces a large new aid package for Ukraine: with 70 units of combat and logistics equipment, including CVRT armored combat vehicles, thousands of ammunition for Challenger 2 tanks, as well as about 65 million dollars for the repair of already transferred military equipment.
