Preparations for Broader Security Cooperation

Ahead of these meetings, Zelenskyy announced preparations to sign new security agreements with a series of nations.

He instructed the NSDC Secretary to finalize drafts of several new security agreements and prepare them for signing.

"We have requests regarding cooperation with Iraq. Today we discussed the potential for joint work with states in the Caucasus, as well as Eastern and Southeastern Asia. There are substantive requests from African states. We are also preparing the groundwork for deeper security arrangements in Europe – we expect to achieve results this week." - Volodymyr Zelenskyy

It is important to note that on April 15, the first Ukrainian Unity Center in Europe will open in Berlin, marking a significant step in the development of Ukrainian-German relations. This diplomatic push comes as Ukraine continues to seek international support to bolster its defense and long-term security architecture.

The signing of new agreements and active diplomatic efforts highlight Ukraine's drive to strengthen its international standing and secure partner support. The opening of the Ukrainian Unity Center also demonstrates Ukraine's intent to preserve and develop cultural and political ties with its diaspora in Europe.
