Ukraine and Japan on Thursday signed a 10-year security agreement on the sidelines of the G7 summit, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said.
Ukraine, more than two years since it was invaded by Russia, has signed another 15 similar agreements, pledging long-term support from its allies, including Britain, France and Germany.
“In 2024, Japan will provide Ukraine with $4.5 billion and will continue to support us throughout the entire 10-year period of the agreement,” Zelenskiy said on X.
The agreement, he added, provides for security and defense assistance, humanitarian aid and technical and financial cooperation.
Zelenskiy thanked Japan for its “unwavering solidarity” and dedication to protecting international law.
